RAID Resilience Categoires

A

failure resistant - resists hardware malfunctions through redundancy (raid 1)
fault tolerant - allows continued operation and quick data rebuild in case of failure (raid 1 5 6 and 10)
disaster tolerant- safeguards against catetropic events by maintaining data in indepedent zones raid 1 and 10

Q

Surge

Study These Flashcards
A

sudden small increases in voltage beyond standard level

20
Q

spike

Study These Flashcards
A

short lived voltage increases lighting, tripped breakers etc

21
Q

Sags

Study These Flashcards
A

brief decrease in voltage enough to cause system shutdown

22
Q

Undervoltage event

Study These Flashcards
A

brownout
prolonged reduction leading to system shutdown

23
Q

Power loss event

24
Q

line conditioner

Study These Flashcards
A

stabilize voltage supply and filter out fluctiations
mitigate surges, sags and undervoltage events
unsuitable for significant undervoltage events or complete power failures

25
UPS
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) ● Provide emergency power during power source failures ● Offer line conditioning functions ● Include battery backup to maintain power during short-duration failures ● Typically supply 15 to 60 minutes of power during a complete power failure
26
Generator
Convert mechanical energy into electrical energy for use in an externalcircuit through the process of electromagnetic induction ● Backup generators supply power during power grid outages ● Smaller generators for limited applications (e.g., emergency lighting)
27
Types of generators
Portable gas-engine generators ○ Permanently installed generators ○ Battery-inverter generator
28
PDC
Power distribution center Central hub for power reception and distribution ● Includes circuit protection, monitoring, and load balancing ● Integrates with UPS and backup generators for seamless transitions during power event
29
RPO
ecovery Point Objective (RPO) ○ Ensures that the backup plan will maintain the amount of data required to keep any data loss under the organization’s RPO threshold
30
Snapshots
Records only changes since the previous snapshot, reducing storage requirement Point-in-time copies capturing a consistent state
31
Replication
real time or near real time replication of data in case of loss of system failure
32
Replication
real time or near real time data copying to maintain data continuity
33
Journaling
Maintaining a detailed record of data changes over time
34
COOP
Ensures an organization's ability to recover from disruptive events or disasters ■ Requires detailed planning and forethought
35
BC Plan
business continuity planning Plans and processes for responding to disruptive events ● Addresses a wide range of threats and disruptive incidents ● Involves preventative actions and recovery steps ● Can cover both technical and non-technical disruptions
36
DRP
disaster recovery plan Focuses on plans and processes for disaster response ● Subset of the BC Plan ● Focuses on faster recovery after disasters ● Addresses specific events like hurricanes, fires, or flood
37
Redundant Site
Backup location or facility that can take over essential functions and operations in case the primary site experiences a failure or disruptio
38
Hot site
Up and running continuously, enabling a quick switchover ● Requires duplicating all infrastructure and data ● Expensive, but provides instant availabilit
39
Warm site
Not fully equipped, but fundamentals in place ● Can be up and running within a few days ● Cheaper than hot sites but with a slight dela
40
Cold Site
Fewer facilities than warm sites ● May be just an empty building, ready in 1-2 months ● Cost-effective but adds more recovery time
41
Mobile Site
Can be hot, warm, or cold ● Utilizes portable units like trailers or tents ● Offers flexibility and quick deployment (e.g., military DJC2)
42
Resilience Testing
Assess system's ability to withstand and adapt to disruptive events ■ Ensures the system can recover from unforeseen incidents ■ Conducted through tabletop exercises, failover tests, simulations, and parallel processing ■ Helps prepare for events like power loss, natural disasters, ransomware attacks, and data breache
43
Recovery Testing
Evaluates the system's capacity to restore normal operation after a disruptive even
44
Tabletop Exercise
Scenario-based discussion among key stakeholders ■ Assess and improve an organization's preparedness and response ■ No deployment of actual resources ■ Identifies gaps and seams in response plans ■ Promotes team-building among stakeholders
45
Failover Tests
ontrolled experiment for transitioning from primary to backup components ■ Ensures uninterrupted functionality during disasters ■ Requires more resources and time ■ Validates the effectiveness of disaster recovery plans ■ Can identify and rectify issues in the failover process
46
Simulations
Computer-generated representation of a real-world scenario ■ Allows for hands-on response actions in a virtual environment ■ Assesses incident responders and system administrators in real-time ■ Helps evaluate reactions and staff performance ■ Provides feedback for learning and improvement
47
Parallel Processing
Replicates data and system processes onto a secondary system ■ Runs primary and secondary systems concurrently ■ Tests reliability and stability of the secondary setup ■ Ensures no disruption to day-to-day operations ■ Assesses the system's ability to handle multiple failure scenarios simultaneousl
