CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 697

A company’s cloud model consists of the following:

• An on-premises data center
• An IaaS cloud provider
• A private-direct connection from on premises to IaaS

Which of the following best describes the deployment model the company is using?

Answer options

• A. Public
• B. Private
• C. Hybrid
• D. Community

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Hybrid, because the company is leveraging both on-premises infrastructure and an IaaS cloud provider, which characterizes a hybrid model. Options A (Public) and B (Private) do not accurately describe the combination of both on-premises and cloud resources, while D (Community) is not applicable as it refers to shared infrastructure among multiple organizations.
