CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 49

An enterprise wants to provide low-cost delivery of network systems that can be scaled on business demand, followed by an initiative to reduce capital expenses for new IT equipment. Which technology meets these goals?

Answer options

• A. IaaS within an on-premises location
• B. SaaS within an on-premises location
• C. IaaS within a private cloud
• D. PaaS within a public cloud

Correct answer: C

Explanation

IaaS within a private cloud is the correct choice as it allows the enterprise to scale resources according to business needs and reduce capital expenses by utilizing a cloud infrastructure. The other options, such as SaaS and PaaS, do not provide the same level of control over infrastructure and scalability, while on-premises solutions generally involve higher capital costs.
