Matt, a security consultant, has been tasked with increasing server fault tolerance and has been given no budget to accomplish his task. Which of the following can Matt implement to ensure servers…

The correct answer is B. RAID. RAID provides hardware-level fault tolerance by using redundant disk configurations and can be implemented using existing drives with no additional budget beyond the server itself.

Why each option

RAID provides hardware-level fault tolerance by using redundant disk configurations and can be implemented using existing drives with no additional budget beyond the server itself.

AHardware load balancing

Hardware load balancing requires dedicated appliances or additional hardware that would exceed a zero budget.

BRAIDCorrect

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) allows a server to continue operating even when one or more drives fail, depending on the RAID level configured. It is a software or hardware feature that can often be enabled within existing infrastructure at no additional cost. Unlike other options, RAID directly addresses hardware failure at the disk level without requiring external resources or budget.

CA cold site

A cold site is a disaster recovery facility that requires leasing or building a secondary location, incurring significant cost.

DA host standby

A host standby requires a duplicate spare server to be purchased and maintained, which requires budget.
