Answer:

Cloud Bursting

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the best possible solutions for this scenario would be Cloud Bursting. This is a solution of using Cloud Server services to handle the server farm workload. The difference is that Cloud Bursting allows the company to use the Cloud services only when their own personal web server farms hit peak demand and can no longer handle the incoming demand. The excess demand is outsourced to the Cloud Server and lets them handle it dynamically without the company having to add any additional hardware to their server farm.
