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 is the correct answer. A cluster is a group of servers (nodes) that work together as a unified system to increase processing power, availability, and fault tolerance. Unlike load balancing, which distributes incoming traffic across multiple independent servers…

Explanation

Clustering is the correct answer. A cluster is a group of servers (nodes) that work together as a unified system to increase processing power, availability, and fault tolerance. Unlike load balancing, which distributes incoming traffic across multiple independent servers, clustering tightly couples the servers so they share resources and processing workload cooperatively. The key detail here is that the servers 'work together' to boost capacity for the application, which is the defining characteristic of clustering.
