CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 151

A network administrator needs to be able to burst datacenter capacity during peak times, but does not want to pay for on-premises hardware that is not used during off-peak times. Which of the following would aid in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Public cloud
• B. SaaS
• C. PaaS
• D. Hybrid cloud

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Hybrid cloud, as it allows for the use of both on-premises and cloud resources, enabling the administrator to scale resources during peak times without investing in permanent hardware. Options A, B, and C do not specifically address the need for a combination of on-premises and cloud solutions for flexible scaling.
