Question

A web service provider has just taken on a very large contract that comes with requirements that are currently not being implemented. In order to meet contractual requirements, the company must achieve the following thresholds:

  • 99.99% uptime
  • Load time in 3 seconds
  • Response time = <1.0 seconds

Starting with the computing environment, which of the following should a security engineer recommend to best meet the requirements? (Choose three.)

Options

  • AInstalling a firewall at corporate headquarters
  • BDeploying a content delivery network
  • CImplementing server clusters
  • DEmploying bare-metal loading of applications
  • ELowering storage input/output
  • FImplementing RAID on the backup servers
  • GUtilizing redundant power for all developer workstations

Explanation

To meet the high uptime, load time, and response time requirements, the following recommendations would be most effective: Deploying a content delivery network (CDN): A CDN can distribute content across multiple locations globally, reducing load times by serving content from the nearest edge server to the Implementing server clusters: Server clusters can ensure high availability and load balancing, which is essential for maintaining 99.99% uptime and improving response times during high traffic Lowering storage input/output (I/O): Reducing storage I/O can improve performance by speeding up data access and enhancing the system's ability to meet load time and response time These solutions directly address the performance and availability metrics that are required for the contract. Other options like implementing RAID, using redundant power for workstations, or installing firewalls would not directly contribute to the high availability or performance
