A financial services company hosts a critical database in a single on-premises data center. The database is backed up nightly to tape, and the tapes are stored in a fireproof safe in the same building. The company wants to improve resilience against a regional disaster that could destroy the building. Which two actions together would most effectively address this risk?

Move the database to a cloud provider in the same city and enable auto-scaling.

Increase the frequency of backups to every hour and keep them in the same fireproof safe.

Implement database replication to a second site in a different geographic region and store backups offsite.

Purchase a generator and UPS for the data center and test failover procedures annually.

A company's continuity of operations plan (COOP) specifies that the maximum tolerable downtime for the order processing system is 4 hours. The system is hosted in a single data center. What is the most important factor to include in the COOP to meet this requirement?

A schedule for annual testing of the COOP.

A documented procedure to fail over to a secondary site within 4 hours.

A backup generator and UPS for the data center.

A list of all employees' contact information.

An organization is evaluating two potential locations for a secondary data center. Location A is in the same city as the primary site. Location B is in a different region, 500 miles away. Which consideration is most important when choosing between them for disaster resilience?

Geographic diversity to avoid a single regional event affecting both sites

Ability to share the same power grid

Lower network latency between the two sites

Easier access for IT staff to travel between sites
