A financial services company needs to host a highly sensitive application that processes customer transactions. They require a cloud solution that provides the highest level of isolation and security, where the underlying physical hardware is dedicated solely to their organization and not shared with any other tenants. Which cloud deployment model satisfies this stringent requirement?
- APrivate Cloud
- BMulti-cloud
- CPublic Cloud
- DHybrid Cloud
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Private Cloud
A private cloud, whether on-premises or hosted by a third party, provides dedicated infrastructure exclusively for a single organization. This model offers the highest level of isolation, security, and control over sensitive data and applications, as the physical hardware is not shared with other tenants.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Multi-cloud refers to using multiple cloud providers, not a specific deployment model for isolation.
- C. Public cloud resources are shared among multiple tenants, failing the dedicated hardware requirement.
- D. Hybrid cloud involves some public cloud elements, which would compromise the dedicated hardware requirement for sensitive data.
Private Cloud (Dedicated Hardware)
A cloud environment where the entire infrastructure, including physical hardware, is dedicated to a single organization.
- Highest isolation and security.
- Dedicated physical hardware.
- Full control over data and environment.
Memory trick: Private means YOUR physical space, no sharing.
