Municipal IT currently runs both primary and backup data centers in the same floodplain building complex. What resilience change addresses regional disaster risk?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Two rooms in the same soggy basement aren’t ‘geographic diversity’—they’re roommates in a flood. Put capacity far enough away that one storm can’t drown the whole city IT. Spare cables offsite don’t run the apps.
Full Explanation
Geographic dispersion places redundant capacity far enough apart to survive regional disasters such as floods affecting one locale. Co-located racks in the same complex share common flood risk and do not provide true geographic diversity. Spare media or cables alone do not constitute dispersed compute. Disabling backups worsens recovery posture.
