解説
問 48
Incorrectア
The “service level management” for a is wrong. It is the activity of setting, monitoring, and improving IT service quality targets based on an SLA (Service Level Agreement), not the concept of keeping physical resources such as buildings and facilities in the best possible condition. The “IPS” for b is also wrong; an IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) is a security device that detects and blocks unauthorized access, not a device that supplies power during an outage. Both a and b are inappropriate.
Incorrectイ
The “UPS” for b is correct, but the “service level management” for a is wrong. Service level management is the activity of managing IT service quality through an SLA, not the concept of keeping resources such as buildings and facilities in the best possible condition (i.e., facility management). Since a is wrong, this option is inappropriate.
Incorrectウ
The “facility management” for a is correct, but the “IPS” for b is wrong. An IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) is a security device that detects unauthorized intrusion into a network and blocks the communication, not a device that supplies power to a server for a certain period during an outage. The device for power-outage countermeasures is a UPS, so this option is inappropriate.
- エ
正解 The correct answer is エ (a: facility management, b: UPS). The description for a, “the concept of keeping resources such as buildings and facilities in the best possible condition,” is exactly the definition of facility management. Facility management refers to the activity of maintaining and managing facility resources such as land, buildings, and equipment in their optimal condition from a management perspective. The description for b, “a device that supplies power to a server for a certain period of time when a sudden power outage occurs,” describes a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). A UPS uses its built-in battery to keep supplying power for a certain time during an outage, during which the server can be safely shut down or switched to in-house power generation. Therefore エ, in which both a and b are correct, is appropriate.
ここがポイント
- Facility management: a management-oriented concept of maintaining and managing facility resources such as buildings, equipment, power supply, and air conditioning in their optimal condition. Distinguish it from service level management (managing service quality through an SLA).
- A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is a device that supplies power from a battery for a certain time during an outage, enabling a safe shutdown or power switchover. The key point is not to confuse it with the similarly named IPS (Intrusion Prevention System, a security device).
