Drag and Drop Question Drag and drop the characteristics from the left to the correct Infrastructure deployment type on the right. Answer:

The correct answer is significant initial investment but lower reoccurring costs; company has control over the physical security of equipment; pay-as-you-go model; physical location of data can be defined in contract with provider; very scalable and fast delivery of changes in scale. On-premises infrastructure requires a significant upfront capital investment in hardware and facilities but has lower recurring costs over time, and gives the organization full physical control over their equipment and security. Cloud infrastructure operates on a pay-as-you-go op

Correct arrangement

  • significant initial investment but lower reoccurring costs
  • company has control over the physical security of equipment
  • pay-as-you-go model
  • physical location of data can be defined in contract with provider
  • very scalable and fast delivery of changes in scale

Explanation

On-premises infrastructure requires a significant upfront capital investment in hardware and facilities but has lower recurring costs over time, and gives the organization full physical control over their equipment and security. Cloud infrastructure operates on a pay-as-you-go operational expense model, allows contractual definition of data physical location (especially in private/hybrid cloud SLAs), and offers rapid, virtually unlimited scalability that on-premises environments cannot match without significant lead time and capital expenditure.
