CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 276

Which of the following is an example of on-demand scalable hardware that is typically housed in the vendor's data center?

Answer options

• A. DaaS
• B. IaaS
• C. PaaS
• D. SaaS

Correct answer: B

Explanation

IaaS, or Infrastructure as a Service, is the correct answer because it provides scalable hardware resources on demand from the vendor's data center. DaaS (Desktop as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and SaaS (Software as a Service) focus on different layers of the cloud services model, which do not specifically refer to scalable hardware.
