NO.26 Zoe is a fashion designer who owns an online retail store. She was recently named ‘The Best Upcoming Fashion Designer of the Year’ by a highly popular fashion magazine. Due to this recognition, the web traffic to her site greatly increased. However, the server on which her website was housed could not handle the high amount of web traffic, which led to the crashing of the website. To resolve this issue, Zoe purchased two additional servers. Using a solution, she distributed the burden from the web traffic between the three servers, which helped in maximizing the efficiency of the servers. Which solution did Zoe use?
Load Balancing distributes web traffic across multiple servers (Zoe’s three) to optimize performance and prevent overload, as described.
* Option A (Point in Time Recovery):Restores data, not traffic management.
* Option C (Clustering):Groups servers for redundancy, not load distribution alone.
* Option D (High-Availability):Ensures uptime, not necessarily load balancing.
* “Load Balancing evenly distributes traffic across servers, enhancing efficiency and preventing crashes under high demand” (Module: System Resilience, Section: Traffic Management).
