A regional bank must recover its core transaction processing within 4 hours of a disaster, but the board has approved only a modest budget for recovery infrastructure. The bank has a secondary office 30 miles away with sufficient floor space and network connectivity, but no computer equipment installed. Which recovery site strategy best meets the stated recovery time objective while respecting the budget constraint?

Convert the secondary office into a warm site with pre-installed servers and network gear, but no live data.

Establish a cold site at the secondary office and pre-stage backup media there.

Build a hot site with real-time data replication and fully redundant systems.

Negotiate a reciprocal agreement with a competing bank to use their data center in an emergency.

In an active-active processing site configuration, how is the workload typically distributed?

Both sites are actively processing traffic and can share the load

Each site processes traffic only during specific business hours

The primary site processes all traffic, and the secondary site only takes over if the primary fails

All traffic is directed to one site while the other remains idle

A university's network carries video conferencing for online classes, bulk file transfers for research data, and routine web browsing. During peak hours, video calls become choppy. The network team wants to ensure video conferencing traffic is not delayed by large file transfers. Which technique should they implement?

Move file transfers to a separate VLAN

Configure Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize video conferencing traffic

Implement a load balancer for the video conferencing servers

Increase the bandwidth of the internet link
