ITPEC IP April 2025 Question 58
Which of the following is an appropriate purpose for facility management concerning IT systems?
Explanation
Overall maintenance of facilities and the environment for information processing — facility management looks after the physical side of IT.
Facility management plans and maintains the buildings, computer rooms, power supply (UPS, private generators), air conditioning, fire protection and entrance control that information systems depend on, keeping that environment in good condition so the systems can run safely and stably.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- •(a) — optimizing the cost of IT services is financial management for IT services
- •(b) — continuing the business through a disaster is business continuity planning (BCP); facilities help, but the purpose is the business's
- •(c) — protecting information assets appropriately is information security management
Key rule: Facility management is about physical assets and the environment (buildings, power, air conditioning, fire protection, physical security), not about cost, continuity plans or information security as a whole.
