What is the purpose of implementing redundant HVAC units in a data center?

To increase the temperature set point to save energy

To eliminate the need for temperature monitoring

To reduce the humidity level in the data center

To ensure cooling continues if one unit fails

A startup with limited capital needs to launch a service that requires high availability and low latency for users in a specific metropolitan area. They have no existing data center expertise. Which option provides the best balance of cost, time-to-market, and operational resilience?

Lease space in a colocation facility in the metro area and install their own servers

Use a colocation facility in a neighboring country to reduce costs

Build a new data center in the metro area with full HVAC and power redundancy

Purchase managed services from a cloud provider with a region in the metro area

What is a common operational implication of purchasing colocation services instead of building your own data center?

You are responsible for the physical security of the entire building

You have complete control over the facility's HVAC and power systems

You share the facility with other tenants and must rely on the provider for physical infrastructure maintenance

You must purchase all the hardware and software licenses upfront

Which access control model is commonly used in cloud environments to assign permissions based on a user's role within an organization?

Attribute-based access control (ABAC)

Discretionary access control (DAC)

Role-based access control (RBAC)

How does multi-vendor pathway connectivity help avoid a single point of failure in network design?

By using a single, high-capacity link from one provider

By providing alternative network paths through different providers

By using a load balancer to distribute traffic

By encrypting all network traffic
