200-901 Question 103
Single answerA company is evaluating different application deployment models to host its new web-based inventory management system. The system requires high scalability during seasonal spikes, minimal upfront costs, and the ability to access services on-demand. Which deployment model best suits the company's requirements?
- A
Private cloud
- B
Public cloud
- C
Hybrid cloud
- D
On-premises data center
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The public cloud is the most suitable option for this scenario because it meets the company's need for high scalability during seasonal spikes, minimal upfront costs, and on-demand access to services. Private clouds, hybrid clouds, and on-premises data centers do not fully align with all the requirements provided in the scenario.
- A. Incorrect.
A private cloud is typically hosted and managed within the organization's infrastructure, providing control and security but lacking the cost-efficiency and scalability needed for this scenario.
- B. Correct.
A public cloud offers high scalability, on-demand services, and minimal upfront costs, making it ideal for applications with variable workloads like the one described.
- C. Incorrect.
A hybrid cloud combines private and public clouds, allowing flexibility, but it may introduce additional complexity and costs, which do not align with the company's requirements for minimal upfront investment.
- D. Incorrect.
An on-premises data center requires significant upfront capital investments and lacks the scalability and on-demand nature of cloud solutions, making it unsuitable for the described scenario.
