Microsoft 365 Fundamentals — Question 38

A company has an Exchange Server environment. The company plans to migrate to the cloud.
You need to recommend a cloud model that meets the following requirements:
✑ Upgrade the existing email environment
✑ Minimize server and application maintenance
Which model should you recommend?

Answer options

• A. Platform as a service (PaaS)
• B. Windows as a service (WaaS)
• C. Software as a service (SaaS)
• D. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Software as a service (SaaS), because it provides a fully managed email solution, handling upgrades and maintenance without requiring the company to manage servers. The other options, such as PaaS and IaaS, would still require more management and maintenance, which does not meet the requirement of minimizing server upkeep.
