Sara, a security architect, has developed a framework in which several authentication servers work together to increase processing power for an application. Which of the following does this represent?

The correct answer is C. Clustering. Clustering involves linking multiple servers so they function as a single unified system, sharing workloads and resources to increase processing capacity and provide fault tolerance. Unlike load balancing, clustering allows servers to share state and work cooperatively on the…

Explanation

Clustering involves linking multiple servers so they function as a single unified system, sharing workloads and resources to increase processing capacity and provide fault tolerance. Unlike load balancing, clustering allows servers to share state and work cooperatively on the same tasks - which aligns with the description of servers working together to increase processing power. A warm site (A) is a disaster recovery facility with partial infrastructure in place, not a performance concept. Load balancing (B) distributes incoming requests across multiple independent servers but the servers do not share state or work together on the same computation. RAID (D) is a storage redundancy/performance technique applied to disk drives, not servers.
