Exam SY0-601 topic 1 question 66 discussion

I got for B. A. Implement a full system upgrade. (Not cost effective) B. Perform a physical-to-virtual migration. (Cloud would be much more redundant against physical hardware breaking) C. Install uninterruptible power supplies. (Would only help really if an external power failure, would do nothing if say a hard drive fails) D. Purchase cybersecurity insurance. (Hardware will still fail)

Performing a physical-to-virtual (P2V) migration involves converting the existing physical system (the critical PC) into a virtual machine (VM) running on a virtualization platform. By doing so, the PC's operating system and applications are encapsulated in a virtual environment, allowing it to run on different hardware or even multiple servers simultaneously. By using a virtual machine, the critical PC can benefit from the following advantages: 1. Hardware Independence: The VM is decoupled from the physical hardware, so it can be migrated easily to different host servers without being affected by the underlying hardware. 2. Snapshot and Backup Capabilities: VMs can be snapshot for backup purposes, allowing easy restoration in case of hardware failures. 3. Cost Savings: Virtualization can lead to cost savings in terms of hardware maintenance, power consumption, and space requirements. While option C (Install uninterruptible power supplies) can provide short-term power backup during outages, it does not directly address the concern of a potential hardware failure in the PC.

Option B, performing a physical-to-virtual migration, is a viable option to mitigate the business operations manager's concerns about potential hardware failure. By migrating the critical PC to a virtual machine, the organization can leverage virtualization technology to ensure business continuity even if the physical hardware fails. A physical-to-virtual migration involves converting the existing physical system into a virtual machine (VM) that runs on a virtualization platform. This migration allows the VM to be hosted on different hardware resources, providing increased flexibility, scalability, and resilience.

Answer is B Cloud is far more secure and reliable than a stand-alone computer, and there are many applications out right now for little to no cost that can store data and software.

Answer: Perform a physical-to-virtual migration. A Physical to virtual migration (P2V), is the migration of physical machines to virtual machines. Converting the PC to a VM temporarily will allow the PC to continue to its operations on a different host. The other options would require that PC be turned off so the organization would not have access to its function.

It must be B. Purchasing insurance is Transference, not Mitigation.

B - Migrate Physical Server to Cloud(Virtual)

Read my full comment Ribeiro I didnt say it was D I was referring to the point you might be in an exam and trying to narrow it down...

To narrow it down for me it would be either B or D. Going with B as the question mentions "without incurring large costs"

B seems right, without incurring large costs which means full system upgrade is out of question
