A financial services company is planning to migrate its IT infrastructure to the cloud to improve scalability and reduce operational costs. The company's CFO is particularly interested in the financial implications of adopting a consumption-based model versus the traditional capital expenditure (CapEx) model. Given the company's operation in a highly regulated industry, it must ensure strict compliance with data sovereignty laws. The IT team also highlights the importance of a solution that can dynamically scale resources during peak demand without incurring unnecessary costs during low demand periods. Considering these requirements, which of the following statements accurately describe the benefits of the consumption-based model for this scenario? (Choose two.)
A
The consumption-based model enables the company to pay only for the resources it uses, offering significant cost savings and operational flexibility. It avoids large upfront investments, aligning expenses with actual usage and demand. Additionally, it facilitates compliance with data sovereignty laws by allowing the selection of data center locations that adhere to regulatory requirements.
B
While the consumption-based model provides some scalability benefits, it requires similar upfront investments as the CapEx model and poses challenges in maintaining compliance with data sovereignty laws due to its dynamic resource allocation.
C
Both the consumption-based and CapEx models deliver comparable benefits in terms of cost efficiency, scalability, and compliance. The decision between them has minimal impact on the company's ability to meet its operational and regulatory needs.
D
The consumption-based model, despite being more costly than the CapEx model, offers superior scalability and flexibility. It ensures compliance with data sovereignty laws by dynamically adjusting resource locations in response to regulatory changes.
E
The consumption-based model not only reduces operational costs by eliminating unnecessary resource expenditure during off-peak times but also enhances the company's ability to rapidly scale during peak periods. It supports compliance efforts by providing detailed usage reports for audit purposes.
