Explanation:
Server monitoring and optimization is the process of keeping an eye
on the servers and optimizing server performance. Server optimization is a
performance task to speed up the server, and monitoring is the process of making
sure the server is up and still operating within those performance parameters.
Incorrect Answers:
A: User management is the process of adding, deleting, and maintaining user accounts.This is not
a performance task, and does not directly affect the speed of the system. Itdoes indirectly affect
the system, as more users are added, the system load can becomeheavier. But this is not the task
of keeping the system at top speed.
C: File backup makes sure that if the server was lost, it can be restored. This processdoes not
directly affect the speed of the system or its performance.D: Routing is the process of directing the movement of data across the network, and isnot related
to speeding up the server or server performance tasks.
