Single answerA company is planning to migrate its workloads to the cloud but wants to maintain some of its existing infrastructure for sensitive data due to compliance requirements. Which deployment model would best suit the company’s needs?
- A
Cloud deployment model
- B
On-premises deployment model
- C
Hybrid deployment model
- D
Edge computing deployment model
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The hybrid deployment model is the best option for organizations that want to retain sensitive data on-premises due to compliance requirements while leveraging the scalability and flexibility of cloud services for other workloads. This model allows businesses to optimize their infrastructure usage while meeting regulatory needs.
- A. Incorrect.
The cloud deployment model involves hosting all workloads on cloud infrastructure, which might not meet the company’s need for retaining sensitive data on-premises.
- B. Incorrect.
The on-premises deployment model keeps all workloads and data within the company’s local data centers, which does not leverage the cloud for scalability and flexibility.
- C. Correct.
The hybrid deployment model combines the use of on-premises infrastructure and cloud services, making it suitable for scenarios where sensitive data needs to stay on-premises while other workloads move to the cloud.
- D. Incorrect.
The edge computing deployment model focuses on processing data closer to where it is generated, often for latency-sensitive applications, which is not the company’s primary concern in this scenario.
