Which of the following is a security benefit of providing additional HVAC capacity or increased
tonnage in a datacenter?

A.
Increased availability of network services due to higher throughput

B.
Longer MTBF of hardware due to lower operating temperatures

C.
Higher data integrity due to more efficient SSD cooling

D.
Longer UPS run time due to increased airflow

Explanation:
The mean time between failures (MTBF) is the measure of the anticipated incidence of failure for a
system or component. This measurement determines the component’s anticipated lifetime. If the
MTBF of a cooling system is one year, you can anticipate that the system will last for a one-year

period; this means that you should be prepared to replace or rebuild the system once a year. If the
system lasts longer than the MTBF, your organization receives a bonus. MTBF is helpful in
evaluating a system’s reliability and life expectancy. Thus longer MTBF due to lower operating
temperatures is a definite advantage
