occurs multiple backups are needed to restored to restore a system.

Question 37

0 / 1 point

One strategy for implementing server recovery and redundancy through mirroring servers uses hot, warm, and cold
servers. Explain how this strategy works.
In this strategy, the online primary server is the hot server and it provides the services necessary to support
operations. The warm server serves as an secondary server and services request from primary when it is down or
busy. The cold server is the administrator's test platform and should be identically configured to the hot and warm
servers. This is used to test new patches and avoid hot server going down. Should the hot server go down, the warm
server takes over as hot server as the hot server is bought up.

Using virtualization, an organization can take its existing hardware and deploy any other operating system and/or
application. There are several different levels of virtualization. Describe one of these: application-level virtualization.
This method virtualizes the OS layer so as to look to the application as the the expected OS, answering all necessary
application programming interface(API) call made by the application. The application perceives that it is interacting
with the host OS and the resources managed by it. This method is used to run application intended to run on nonnative OS.

disaster. This allow the organization to use the resources of the other without investing in hardware for
incidence/disaster recovery. It allows for the organization to save a lot of resources for disaster recovery but is
limited to the level of agreement and investment of resources from the other.
