Question

A manufacturing plant is updating its IT services. During discussions, the senior management team created the following list of considerations:

  • Staff turnover is high and seasonal.
  • Extreme conditions often damage endpoints.
  • Losses from downtime must be minimized.
  • Regulatory data retention requirements exist.

Which of the following best addresses the considerations?

Options

  • AEstablishing further environmental controls to limit equipment damage
  • BUsing a non-persistent virtual desktop interface with thin clients
  • CDeploying redundant file servers and configuring database journaling
  • DMaintaining an inventory of spare endpoints for rapid deployment

Explanation

Using a non-persistent virtual desktop interface (VDI) with thin clients addresses the concerns effectively. Thin clients are durable and less prone to damage, and VDI allows for easy reconfiguration and deployment of endpoints, especially in environments with high staff turnover. It also reduces the impact of endpoint failures and minimizes downtime while meeting regulatory data retention requirements, as the data resides centrally.
