ITPEC FE Morning April 2023 Question 56
ITPEC FE Morning April 2023 — Question 56 of 80
When an IT service is discontinued, assets must be carefully identified before removal. The risk of mistaken removal (removing assets still needed by other services) differs from the risk of failing to remove unneeded assets.
- •Mistaken removal of a needed asset → other IT services that share that asset break → incidents
- •Failing to remove an unneeded asset → continued costs (maintenance, licenses, disk space)
Why not others:
- (b) Overpaying maintenance — happens when unneeded assets are kept, not when needed ones are removed
- (c) Wasting money on licenses — same: cost of not removing unused licenses
- (d) Wasting disk space — same: cost of not removing unused data
Key rule: Mistaken removal of shared assets → service incidents; failure to remove unneeded assets → wasted costs.
