ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
Your organization operates a private cloud for several regional hospitals. Management wants a secondary data center that will host synchronous replication of electronic health‐record (EHR) databases currently running in the primary data center located 8 km from a major fault line and fed by the same municipal power substation as the hospitals. When comparing potential sites, which single location requirement is most critical for maintaining service availability during a regional disaster affecting the primary facility?
It is served by the same telecommunications carrier to reuse existing dark fiber contracts.
It is on a separate electrical grid and outside the primary site's seismic zone.
It can house the same storage arrays as the primary site to simplify spare-parts inventory.
It is within the same metropolitan area to keep database replication latency under 2 ms.
For high availability and true disaster resilience, the secondary data center must not be subject to the same regional hazards that could take the primary site offline. Locating the alternate facility on a different power grid and outside the primary site's seismic zone ensures that a single earthquake or power‐grid failure cannot disable both locations simultaneously. Although low replication latency, carrier diversity, and identical hardware can improve performance or simplify operations, they do not protect against a correlated regional outage-making geographic and infrastructure separation the foremost consideration.
