You are explaining the benefits of hybrid cloud implementation to your customer. Which two key benefits does this solution provide? (Select two.)

Question

Options

• AIntegrate across data sets and business groups
• BComplete removal of local firewalls
• CZero hardware expenditures
• DAbility to unify operations and management
• ELower cost per GB of local storage

Explanation

Hybrid cloud combines on-premises infrastructure with public/private cloud resources, and its two standout benefits are integration across data sets and business groups (A) and unified operations and management (D) - both of which leverage the "bridge" nature of hybrid: connecting disparate environments under a single operational model.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (Complete removal of local firewalls): Hybrid cloud retains on-prem components, so local firewalls remain - and are often critical for securing the private side.
• C (Zero hardware expenditures): Hybrid still includes on-prem or private cloud hardware; zero CAPEX is associated with pure public cloud models.
• E (Lower cost per GB of local storage): Hybrid doesn't inherently reduce local storage costs - in fact, maintaining local infrastructure can cost more per GB than cloud object storage at scale.

Memory tip: Think of "hybrid" as a bridge builder - it Allows data to flow across silos and Delivers a unified management plane. If an answer implies hybrid eliminates something on-prem (firewalls, hardware), it's wrong - hybrid connects, it doesn't replace.
