A regional hospital operates its own data center to host an electronic health record (EHR) system. The hospital is required by law to maintain physical custody of all patient data and must ensure the system remains available even if the local internet connection fails. The IT director is evaluating architecture options and wants to minimize the risk of data leaving the facility. Which approach best meets these requirements?

Use a hybrid cloud with the EHR replicated to both on-premises and a cloud provider.

Keep the EHR on-premises and implement a redundant local storage array and backup generator.

Deploy a private cloud using a colocation facility with a dedicated connection to the hospital.

Move the EHR to a public cloud provider with a data residency guarantee in the same country.

A government agency operates a data center that hosts a sensitive application. The agency has a mandate to maintain full control over the hardware and data, and it must comply with a regulation that prohibits any third-party access to the infrastructure. The agency also needs to scale the application during peak periods, but it cannot use public cloud services. Which architecture would best meet all requirements?

Hybrid cloud with a public cloud for peak scaling.

On-premises architecture with dedicated hardware and virtualization.

Community cloud shared with other agencies.

Private cloud hosted in a colocation facility.

A small business runs several legacy applications, each requiring a different operating system version. The business has limited budget and physical space. The IT administrator wants to consolidate hardware while maintaining application compatibility and isolating each application's runtime environment. Which solution best meets these needs?

Migrate all applications to a single modern operating system on one server.

Install each application on a separate physical server.

Use virtualization to run multiple virtual machines on a single physical host.

Use containerization on a shared host without virtualization.

Which of the following is a key benefit of cloud architecture?

The organization must purchase and maintain all hardware.

Resources can be scaled up or down on demand.

The organization has complete physical control over the servers.

All cloud services are free to use.

Which of the following is a typical component of an ICS that is not commonly found in standard IT systems?

A programmable logic controller (PLC)
