which of the following?

Most of unplanned downtime of information systems is attributed to which of the following?

A.
Hardware failure

B.
Natural disaster

C.
Human error

D.
Software failure

Explanation:
This is what the static’s says. Most of the downtime is cause of unexpected
hardware failure. Commonly you just replace the FRU (Field replazable unit) when they fail.
Usually a well written software does not fail if the hardware is running correctly. The human errors
are controllable and natural disasters are not very often. Hardware failure is very common, it’s a
good practice to have spare disks, NIC and any other hardware FRU´s in your company to
minimize the downtime with quick replacements.
