Exam SY0-601 topic 1 question 159 discussion

If ups is not in the option, the answer here is Generator…..I passed my exam and this question appeared but ups wasn’t in the option so I went with Generator….

UPS is the answer, dont get confused by the smelter thing

UPS does not make sense because UPS is only designed to cover outages upto 15 minutes. Generators are designed to cover outages longer than 15 minutes and upto an hour. No wonder why UPS is not listed in as an option in the exam questiosn as you some of you mentioned. So the anser is Generator

Why are we not considering the back-up option at all? This is a "planned brown out". Woud you need to switch over to a UPS or Generator during a brown-out?

B. Generator

UPS will allow sufficient time for the backup generator to kickin.

Folks, stop adding things that are not part of the scenario just to justify your selection . There is nothing here about HVAC, this is all about reducing the risk of data loss. A properly specked UPS will allow time to save data and gracefully shut down the systems. Most generators have a built in time delay before they start up and the UPS will provide the time needed for this.

"Every day each location experiences very brief outages that last for a few seconds. " says. This indicates that there is a UPS. I think a generator is needed for longer outages. UPS is ideal for short-term outages, but a generator is a must for long-term outages.

During a power outage, data centers typically rely on backup power systems to keep their operations running smoothly. These backup systems often include uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and backup generators. The UPS systems provide immediate power to the data center equipment while the generators can kick in to provide longer-term power if the outage persists. Data centers are designed to minimize the impact of power outages on their operations to ensure continuous availability of services and data.

The correct answer is Generator. A battery backup will not supply power to the HVAC system and those servers will heat up pretty quickly.

UPS is good for sub hour events. Since the summer has longer power issues I would advise a generator for prolonged events.

C. UPS At the system level, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) will provide a temporary power source in the event of a blackout (complete power loss). This may range from a few minutes for a desktop-rated model to hours for an enterprise system. In its simplest form, a UPS comprises a bank of batteries and their charging circuit plus an inverter to generate AC voltage from the DC voltage supplied by the batteries. The time allowed by a UPS should be sufficient to failover to an alternative power source, such as a standby generator. If there is no secondary power source, UPS will at least allow the administrator to shut down the server or appliance properly—users can save files, and the OS can complete the proper shut down routines.

UPS Generators are essential for providing extended backup power during outages, but they may not be suitable for very brief outages or intentional brownouts. Generators usually have a startup time, and their operation may not be practical for protecting against short interruptions.

You would go with UPS if outages were only for a few seconds but then they add in now and again they lose power for an hour. So, the generator makes more sense

I`ll go with B The center is a big consumer of electricity and has an HVAC system as well. UPS is a must but it cannot provide power for up to an hour to the entire data center and HVAC simultaneously. If we use UPS only for the servers, after a while they will start overheating and shut down eventually. We talking about bank data that needs availability, UPS is a good choice to keep the servers running for a little bit until the generator kicks on. The question states: "During the summer a high risk of intentional brownouts that last up to an hour exists ...... " Sumer, intentional brownouts, hour exist ...... Summer - data center need HVAC to keep it cool, intentionally brownouts - reduced voltage to avoid blackouts and can last for an hour. The best solution is a generator if want to keep the servers running and cool.

UPS A UPS is perfectly suited for handling intermittent brief disruptions in power, as well as brownouts that last up to 1 hour. A UPS can handle those situations just fine.

Idk.. I'm sticking with C - UPS. CompTIA likes the fluff and this is full of it. The overall question is referring to least data lost when an outage occurs.. an UPS will perform the graceful shutdown of the system to mitigate the loss of data.
