A company is launching web servers in different data centers and needs an approach that splits incoming requests among them while tracking node status. Which solution meets this requirement with minimal disruption to users if a data center becomes unavailable?
Deploy a tool that monitors vulnerabilities in the operating system and triggers an alert for excessive CPU usage
Use a single gateway server for incoming requests, activating an extra server if the main server stops responding
Configure a sensor that automatically blocks suspicious addresses before they reach any server
Implement a specialized device that routes requests across multiple servers and conducts ongoing checks to help keep services running if one node fails
A specialized solution that directs traffic among multiple servers and monitors server status is effective because it continues to route requests to healthy nodes even when one server fails, maintaining availability. Other options focus on intrusion blocking, manual redirection, or system vulnerability reporting rather than keeping requests distributed and services accessible.
