Which solution will affect the ability of the business to continue to run if a disaster should strike?

Question

Options

• AOn/Off Capacity on Demand (OOCoD)
• BCapacity for Planned Event (CPE)
• CCustomer Initiated Upgrade (CIU)
• DCapacity Backup (CBU)

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  14% (4)
• C
  75% (21)
• D
  7% (2)

Explanation

Customer Initiated Upgrade (CIU) is the mechanism by which a customer permanently activates additional capacity on their system - and crucially, it is the action taken to bring a disaster recovery (backup) system online when catastrophe strikes, directly determining whether the business can continue operating. Without a CIU, pre-installed backup capacity remains dormant and unusable during a crisis.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (OOCoD) is designed for temporary, unpredictable workload spikes - it's a short-term on/off toggle, not a disaster response tool.
• B (CPE) handles known, planned events (like end-of-quarter processing) - it requires advance scheduling and isn't triggered by emergencies.
• D (CBU) is the contract/pre-installed capacity that gives you the right to have backup capacity available - but it doesn't activate it; CIU is the step that actually brings that capacity to life.

Memory tip: Think of CBU as the "fire extinguisher on the wall" and CIU as "pulling the pin." CBU sets up the safety net; CIU is what you Call into action when disaster hits to keep the business running.
