ITPEC IP April 2018 — Question 14 of 100

Operating the systems at separate locations diversifies the risk of disasters and site-specific failures. If one location is affected, systems at other sites can continue operating or complement the failed service, improving resilience and business continuity.

Answer (b)

Why not others:
- operations are managed separately, so staffing is not consolidated

- distributed locations make centralized software-version control more complex, not inherently easier

- backup files are likewise not managed in a single consolidated location by this design

Key rule: Geographic distribution reduces common-site risk, while centralization usually simplifies staffing, configuration, and backup administration.
