What is the appropriate use case for a traditional solution?

Question

Options

• AWhen high-speed network connectivity is not required
• BWhen scalability and flexibility are critical requirements
• CWhen data needs to be stored in a public cloud
• DWhen legacy systems are still in use

• C
  5% (1)
• D
  95% (20)

Explanation

Traditional solutions - on-premises infrastructure, legacy architectures, and established enterprise systems - are most appropriate when legacy systems are still in use (D), because they integrate directly with existing hardware, software, and workflows without requiring costly migrations or compatibility overhauls.

Why the distractors fail:

• A is wrong because high-speed connectivity is often a requirement of traditional solutions (e.g., on-prem LANs), not an absence of it.
• B is wrong because scalability and flexibility are the hallmarks of cloud/modern solutions, not traditional ones, which tend to be rigid and capacity-limited.
• C is wrong because public cloud storage is by definition a cloud solution, the opposite of traditional on-premises infrastructure.

Memory tip: Think "traditional = legacy" - if the question mentions old systems, established infrastructure, or existing investments that can't easily be replaced, traditional solutions are the fit. When you see words like "scalability," "flexibility," or "cloud," those signal modern/cloud solutions instead.
