CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 514

A network technician is working on a proposal for email migration from an on-premises email system to a vendor-hosted email in the cloud. The technician needs to explain to management what type of cloud model will be utilized with the cloud-hosted email. Which of the following cloud models should the technician identify in the proposal?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C. SaaS (Software as a Service) is the model for cloud-hosted email systems as it provides software applications over the internet. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) and PaaS (Platform as a Service) are not suitable because they focus on providing infrastructure and platforms for development rather than specific software solutions like email. MaaS (Monitoring as a Service) is unrelated to email services.
