Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 163

Which benefit is offered by a cloud infrastructure deployment but is lacking in an on-premises deployment?

Answer options

• A. virtualization
• B. supported systems
• C. storage capacity
• D. efficient scalability

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Efficient scalability is a key benefit of cloud infrastructure as it allows resources to be adjusted dynamically based on demand, which is not as easily achievable with on-premises deployments. While virtualization, supported systems, and storage capacity can also be found in both environments, they do not provide the same level of flexibility and responsiveness as cloud scalability.
