A customer has determined that it is time to refresh their existing server infrastructure. The CIO’s strategic
direction of the organization is to utilize public cloud providers. The applications are currently running on Power
Systems with Linux operating systems.
What justification can promote on-premises Power Systems?

A.
Linux on Power applications cannot be migrated to any of the existing public cloud provider solutions whichare all on Intel x86 servers and only support Canonical Ubuntu, which means that the applications have to
run on Linux on Power on-premises servers.

B.
Moving any of the existing workloads into any known public cloud provider solution would expose the
workloads to unacceptable security risks.

C.
Hybrid cloud solutions allow the customer to achieve the positive benefits of running on Power Systems in
the public cloud while allowing the customer to isolate critical, security sensitive workloads on-premises in a
private cloud.

D.
All public cloud providers offer Power Systems cloud solutions that can be located on the customer’s
premises for enhanced security.
