CERTIFIED-IN-CYBERSECURITY Question #394: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

What is the recommended temperature range for optimized data center uptime and hardware life?

Options

• A60°F to 75°F (16°C to 24°C)
• B50°F to 70°F (10°C to 21°C)
• C72°F to 90°F (23°C to 32°C)
• D64°F to 81°F (18°C to 27°C)

Explanation

The recommended temperature range for optimized data center uptime and hardware life is 18°C to 27°C (64°F to 81°F) (see ISC2 Study Guide, Chapter 4, Module 3). Maintaining this temperature range helps prevent overheating, which can lead to hardware failure and downtime. The other options do not accurately represent the recommended temperature range for a data center. A range of 50°F to 70°F (10°C to 21°C) is too cold and can lead to unnecessary energy consumption and potential hardware problems. A range of 72°F to 90°F (23°C to 32°C) is too warm and can cause overheating and hardware failure. A range of 60°F to 75°F (16°C to 24°C) is close to the recommended range, but it's slightly too cold at the low end and could result in unnecessary power consumption.
