Which of the following is an advantage of installing an application to the cloud?

  1. Increased local storage capacity

  2. Data is not stored locally

  3. Access limited to physical servers

  4. Higher initial installation cost

The correct answer is: Data is not stored locally

Installing an application to the cloud provides several advantages, including increased scalability, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness. Option A is incorrect because the application is not stored locally, therefore local storage capacity is not affected. Option C is incorrect because installing an application to the cloud allows for unlimited access to the application through virtual or remote servers, rather than being limited to physical servers. Option D is incorrect because installing an application to the cloud eliminates the need for expensive hardware installations and maintenance, resulting in lower initial installation costs.
