CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 70

During evaluation of migrating current on-premises infrastructure to add cloud-based infrastructure, a network planning team must meet three core requirements as they make recommendations on which cloud strategy to adopt going forward.

• Technology is changing rapidly, therefore the enterprise must be open to adopting new ways of doing things, and be ready to invest CapEx-funds in the next three years.
• Network bandwidth capacity requirements are dynamic and are expected to change over the next year.
• If new technologies are to be introduced operational expenses must be kept at a minimum.

Which cloud strategy meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. private
• B. hybrid
• C. public
• D. multicloud

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The hybrid cloud strategy is suitable as it allows for flexibility in adapting to changing technologies and bandwidth needs while balancing on-premises and cloud resources. The private cloud may not provide the required scalability and adaptability for dynamic bandwidth requirements, while the public cloud could increase operational expenses with uncontrolled costs. Multicloud strategies could complicate management and integration efforts, making them less practical in this scenario.
