A project is assigned to a group of developers who have only weeks to develop a prototype for an
online trading application. The application needs to run on a variety of virtual host compute
systems and be accessible from anywhere. The project lead must select an environment that

would allow for self-service, anywhere availability, wide scalability, and elasticity.
Which would be the best approach to meet their needs?

A.
Outsource their infrastructure needs to a cloud provider that can meet their service-level
requirements

B.
Outsource their connectivity requirements and build their compute environment at a co-location
facility

C.
Construct a virtualized host compute environment with SAN storage and virtual network within
their data center

D.
Construct an internal cloud infrastructure group to build virtualized services to run, metered,
within their organization
