For this assignment, you will submit one Microsoft Word document that contains the responses to the three parts below. Make sure to cite any sources you use in APA format.

Part 1: Equipment and System Failure

Part of Risk Assessment is to analyze the equipment and systems associated with the data center and considering what failures can be associated with them. Different levels of failures can be attributed to single systems or to data centers.

Directions: Do some research (using the Internet and search engines like Google) and learn about ways you can provide fault tolerance for data center equipment failure(s). Using complete sentences, name 2 ways to provide fault tolerance for data center equipment failure(s).

Part 2: Utility Loss

How do utilities systems (power, water. cooling, etc.) associated with a data center impact our risk assessment?

Directions: Name two (2) utility services whose interruption would impact the daily operation of the data center that should be included in our risk assessment. Explain how we mitigate each loss.

Part 3: Risk Assessment

Directions: Imagine you are the Assessment Analyst for a company. Use the IT department in an organization and specify what risk might be associated with the IT/MIS department. Using the details in the Development Risk Assessment Chart, fill out the Recommending Mitigating Risk Form information for five (5) of the risks in the chart and describe how to mitigate them. You may need to research (using the Internet and search engines like Google) to find additional information.
