What are the two most relevant factors in determining the class of administration that is required to maintain the telecommunications infrastructure? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• Athe size of the infrastructure
• Bthe complexity of the infrastructure
• Cthe age of the infrastructure
• Dthe industry that the infrastructure supports
• Ethe physical environment of the infrastructure

• A
  89% (25)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  7% (2)

Explanation

Size and complexity are the two primary drivers because together they determine the scope of work and the technical depth required from administrators. A larger infrastructure demands more resources, personnel, and organizational structure (class of administration), while greater complexity demands higher skill levels, more sophisticated tools, and more rigorous processes to manage diverse or interdependent components.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• C (age): Infrastructure age doesn't dictate administrative class - an old but simple system may need less oversight than a new but complex one.
• D (industry): The industry served may influence compliance requirements, but it doesn't fundamentally change how the infrastructure must be administered class-wise.
• E (physical environment): Environment affects physical/facilities concerns (cooling, weatherproofing), not the administrative class needed to manage the network itself.

Memory tip: Think "S + S = Class" - Scale (size) and Sophistication (complexity) are the two S's that determine what class of administration you need. If it's big or complicated, you need a higher class; if it's small and simple, a lower class suffices.
