CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 165

A UK-based private hospital group with various levels of systems security considers upgrading its IT systems to increase performance and workload flexibility in response to constantly changing requirements. The CTO wants to reduce capital expenses and adopt the lowest-cost technology. Which technology choice is suitable?

Answer options

• A. public cloud
• B. hybrid cloud
• C. on premises
• D. private cloud

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The hybrid cloud option allows the hospital group to leverage both on-premises and cloud resources, providing flexibility and scalability while managing costs effectively. The public cloud might not meet specific security requirements, while on-premises solutions can lead to higher capital expenditures. The private cloud, although secure, may not offer the same cost-effectiveness and adaptability as a hybrid approach.
