To improve performance by isolating resource-intensive tasks from user-facing operations Dedicating a node to the backgrounder process in Tableau Server is primarily done to isolate resource-intensive tasks, such as data extraction and subscription tasks, from user-facing operations. This separation helps in optimizing performance by ensuring that the backgrounder’s demand on system resources does not impact the responsiveness or efficiency of the user interface and vice versa. Option A is incorrect because while security is important, it is not the primary reason for dedicating a node to the backgrounder process. Option C is incorrect as direct database access from the backgrounder node is not the main factor in this configuration decision. Option D is incorrect because while easier maintenance is a benefit, it is not the primary reason for isolating the back-grounder process on a specific node.
