CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 1024

A company is evaluating cloud providers to reduce the cost of its internal IT operations. The company's aging systems are unable to keep up with customer demand. Which of the following cloud models will the company MOST likely select?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), as it allows companies to leverage scalable infrastructure to support increased demand without the need for significant capital investment. PaaS (Platform as a Service) and SaaS (Software as a Service) are more focused on application development and software delivery, respectively, and would not directly address the need for scalable infrastructure. BaaS (Backend as a Service) is also not suitable as it primarily focuses on backend services rather than overall IT infrastructure.
