Single Answer
0Julia is designing her organization's external connectivity as part of infrastructure capacity planning. She knows that the organization typically uses approximately 7 gigabits per second of connectivity from their primary site. Julia has the following connectivity options, what should she select?
Answer Options
A
A 10 Gbps primary and a 5 Gbps secondary connection
B
A 5 Gbps primary and a 5 Gbps secondary connection
C
A 100 Gbps primary and a 10 Gbps secondary connection
D
A 10 Gbps primary and a 10 Gbps secondary connection
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
In general, fail over connections should be able to handle an organization's full throughput. Overprovisioning for 100 Gbps will typically create significantly more cost not only for connectivity but also for network devices that can handle high speeds, and underprovisioning at 5 Gbps will mean that traffic would need to be reduced in a fail over scenario.
