300-415 Question 106
Single answerYour organization is planning to deploy Cisco SD-WAN across multiple branches. You need to decide on the most suitable WAN Edge deployment model to meet the following requirements:
- The WAN Edge devices should be hosted in the cloud to reduce hardware costs.
- The deployment must ensure scalability and easy integration with cloud services.
- The organization requires centralized management and control of the WAN Edge devices.
Which WAN Edge deployment model best satisfies these requirements?
- A
On-Premises Deployment
- B
Cloud-Hosted Deployment
- C
Hybrid Deployment
- D
Colocation Deployment
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The Cloud-Hosted Deployment model is the best fit for the organization's requirements, as it allows WAN Edge devices to be hosted in the cloud, reducing hardware costs, enabling scalability, and providing easy integration with cloud services. Other options either involve on-premises hardware or do not fully address the scalability and cloud integration needs.
- A. Incorrect.
On-Premises Deployment involves deploying WAN Edge devices physically at the branch or data center location. This does not align with the requirement of hosting the devices in the cloud to reduce hardware costs.
- B. Correct.
Cloud-Hosted Deployment places WAN Edge devices in a cloud environment, allowing for scalability, reduced hardware costs, and seamless integration with cloud services. This matches the organization's requirements.
- C. Incorrect.
Hybrid Deployment combines on-premises and cloud-hosted components. While it offers flexibility, it does not fully align with the requirement to host all WAN Edge devices in the cloud.
- D. Incorrect.
Colocation Deployment involves hosting WAN Edge devices in a third-party data center. This does not meet the requirement of using cloud-hosted devices to reduce hardware costs and facilitate scalability.
