Question 32

Emergency preparedness ensures a company is ready to respond to an emergency in an organized, timely, and effective manner.

Question 33

Disasters such as power outages, fires, floods, hurricanes, and even malicious activities such as hackers and viruses strike companies every day. Disasters can have effects on disrupting communications, damaging physical infrastructures, halting transportation, and blocking utilities.

Question 34

Fault tolerance is an exact copy of a system's information.

Question 35

Business impact analysis details how a company recovers and restores critical business operations and systems after a disaster or extended disruption.

Question 36

An emergency is a sudden, unexpected event requiring immediate action due to potential threat to health and safety, the environment, or property.

Question 37

A warm site is a separate facility that does not have any computer equipment but is a place where employees can move after a disaster.

Question 38

Failover backs up an exact copy of a system's information.

Question 39

A cold site is a separate facility that does not have any computer equipment but is a place where employees can move after a disaster.

Question 40

Failover occurs when the primary machine recovers and resumes operations, taking over from the secondary server.

Question 41

Performance measures how quickly a system performs a process or transaction.

Question 42

Maintainability means the system quickly transforms to support environmental changes.
