CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004) — Question 2

Which of the following is the most cost-effective way to store data that is infrequently accessed?

Answer options

• A. Cold site
• B. Hot site
• C. Off-site
• D. Warm site

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Off-site, as it typically involves lower-cost storage solutions designed for infrequently accessed data. In contrast, a Cold site (A) and Warm site (D) may incur higher costs due to the need for maintaining resources that are not actively used, while a Hot site (B) is the most expensive option since it is fully operational and ready for immediate access.
