CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002) — Question 58

A company wants to save on cloud storage costs for data that does not need to be accessible in a timely manner. Which of the following storage types would be the BEST option?

Answer options

• A. Cold
• B. Block
• C. Object
• D. Tape

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Cold storage is designed for data that is infrequently accessed and is the most cost-effective option for storing such data. Block and object storage are generally more expensive and better suited for data that needs to be accessed more quickly. Tape storage, while also cost-effective, is typically not considered a cloud storage solution.
