CCSP Question #140: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

When designing a cloud data center, which of the following aspects is not necessary to ensure continuity of operations during contingency operations?

Options

• AAccess to clean water
• BBroadband data connection
• CExtended battery backup
• DPhysical access to the data center

Explanation

Extended battery backup is a short-term power solution, but for sustained continuity during significant contingencies, the focus is on redundant long-term power, robust data connectivity, and physical access.

Common mistakes.

• A. Access to clean water is crucial for cooling systems (e.g., chillers) in many data centers, directly impacting operational continuity.
• B. A broadband data connection is absolutely critical for cloud data centers to maintain connectivity with users, other data centers, and the internet.
• D. Physical access to the data center is necessary for maintenance, repairs, security, and manual intervention during critical outages or contingency events that cannot be resolved remotely.
