CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 52
An application server, which uses a SaaS fax provider, is determined to cost too much money. An upgrade to the application allows for use of a physical fax card so the company only has to pay for a phone line. This is a production application; therefore, downtime must be minimized. Which of the following types of migration is MOST efficient in facilitating this application upgrade?
Answer options
- A. Virtual-to-physical migration
- B. Storage migration
- C. Cloud migration
- D. Offline migration
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The most efficient method for transitioning from a virtual environment to using a physical fax card is Virtual-to-physical migration, as it allows the application to retain its existing configurations while switching to the new hardware. Other options like Storage migration or Cloud migration do not directly apply to the scenario of changing from a SaaS solution to a physical card, and Offline migration would likely lead to unnecessary downtime, which is a concern in a production environment.
