A company needs its critical applications to remain operational with minimal downtime, even in the event of hardware failures. Which strategy is most appropriate to meet this requirement?
Using a single powerful server with redundant components
Implementing a server cluster with load balancing
Scheduling regular system updates during low usage periods
Implementing a server cluster with load balancing is the most effective strategy for maintaining operations during hardware failures. Load balancing distributes traffic across multiple servers, so if one server fails, others can handle the load seamlessly, ensuring high availability. Using a single powerful server, even with redundant components, still presents a single point of failure. Regular updates and encryption are important for security and maintenance but do not directly address the need for continuous operation during failures.
