Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 571

Which factor must be considered when choosing the on-premise solution over the cloud-based one?

Answer options

• A. With an on-premise solution, the provider is responsible for the installation and maintenance of the product, whereas with a cloud-based solution, the customer is responsible for it.
• B. With a cloud-based solution, the provider is responsible for the installation, but the customer is responsible for the maintenance of the product.
• C. With an on-premise solution, the provider is responsible for the installation, but the customer is responsible for the maintenance of the product.
• D. With an on-premise solution, the customer is responsible for the installation and maintenance of the product, whereas with a cloud-based solution, the provider is responsible for it.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it accurately describes that in an on-premise solution, the customer takes on both installation and maintenance responsibilities, while in a cloud-based solution, these responsibilities lie with the provider. Option A is incorrect as it reverses the responsibilities, while B and C also misrepresent the roles of the customer and provider in relation to installation and maintenance.
