FC0-U61 · Question #498

Which of the following BEST describes a LAN-hosted application? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is C. Network required E. Internet access not required. A LAN-hosted application operates within a local area network, meaning it requires the network infrastructure to function but does not inherently need internet access.

Why each option

A LAN-hosted application operates within a local area network, meaning it requires the network infrastructure to function but does not inherently need internet access.

AInternet access required

Internet access is not required for an application hosted entirely within a LAN.

BServices required

While services (like database services or application services) are typically part of a LAN-hosted application setup, 'Services required' is too general and less descriptive of the hosting model than 'Network required' or 'Internet access not required.'

CNetwork requiredCorrect

A LAN-hosted application runs on servers or workstations connected within a Local Area Network. Therefore, the network itself is a fundamental requirement for the application to be accessible and function for users within that confined local environment.

DFiles saved to the cloud

Files saved to the cloud is characteristic of cloud-based applications, not LAN-hosted ones.

EInternet access not requiredCorrect

Since a LAN-hosted application resides and operates entirely within the local network perimeter, it does not inherently require an active internet connection to function or for users to access its services. Communication occurs locally between clients and the application server.

FCloud availability

Cloud availability refers to services being accessible over the internet from a cloud provider, which is contrary to a LAN-hosted solution.
