SK0-003 · Question #36

Which of the following expansion cards would be necessary to increase fault tolerance in a VoIP server?

The correct answer is D. Second PBX card. This question asks which expansion card would improve fault tolerance specifically within a Voice over IP (VoIP) server context. Redundancy for the server's telephony interface is key.

Why each option

This question asks which expansion card would improve fault tolerance specifically within a Voice over IP (VoIP) server context. Redundancy for the server's telephony interface is key.

ASecond Modem

A second modem is generally irrelevant for a modern VoIP server, which relies on high-speed network (Ethernet) connectivity rather than dial-up modems for communication.

BSecond CPU

A second CPU increases processing power and general system performance but does not directly add fault tolerance to the VoIP-specific communication or interface capabilities of the server itself.

CSecond HBA

A second HBA (Host Bus Adapter) provides redundancy for storage connectivity, increasing fault tolerance for data access, but it does not enhance the VoIP server's ability to handle calls or connect to telephony infrastructure.

DSecond PBX cardCorrect

A second PBX card (Private Branch Exchange card), often referred to as a telephony or voice card, provides redundant physical interfaces for the VoIP server to connect to external telephony lines or networks. This ensures that if one card fails, the server can continue to process and route calls, thereby increasing fault tolerance for its primary function.
