Dell EMC Associate – PowerStore Solutions — Question 26

An organization is on a Digital Transformation journey. The business is adopting agile application development methodologies to respond to customer feedback more quickly and improve their cloud native applications. The IT department recommends distributing the application across geographies for better performance for consumers. However, for compliance reasons they need to secure critical data in their data center.
Which deployment model should IT recommend to address their requirements?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, PaaS, as it allows for the development and hosting of applications in the cloud while still providing the ability to secure sensitive data in the organization's data center. The other options do not meet the requirement for securing critical data on-premises; Public Cloud does not offer that level of security, Hybrid Cloud could be a consideration but is less focused on application development, and SaaS is primarily for software delivery rather than application development.
