Question

zoe, aria, and abigail are launching a startup and need to store and share project files with their remote team. they’re debating between local servers, cloud storage, and private cloud storage. which option should they pick to ensure smooth collaboration and keep their data secure, and why? local servers, because they are under direct control. private cloud storage, because it balances collaboration with enhanced security. public cloud storage, because it is inexpensive. local servers, because the fast.

Explanation:

To determine the best option, we analyze each choice:

• Local servers: For a remote team, accessing local servers can be difficult (e.g., network restrictions, limited remote access), so they don't support smooth collaboration well, eliminating the local server options.
• Public cloud storage: While it may be inexpensive, it often has lower security compared to private cloud for sensitive startup data, so security needs aren't met.
• Private cloud storage: It allows remote team access (supporting collaboration) and offers enhanced security (dedicated infrastructure, better access controls) compared to public cloud, balancing both requirements.

Answer:

Private cloud storage, because it balances collaboration with enhanced security.
