300-415 Question 84
Single answerYour organization is deploying a Cisco SD-WAN solution and is deciding between hosting the vManage, vSmart, and vBond controllers on a public cloud platform or within a private data center. The organization has strict compliance requirements that mandate full control of the infrastructure and data. Which hosting platform is the most appropriate for this deployment?
- A
Host the SD-WAN controllers on a public cloud platform for scalability and ease of management.
- B
Host the SD-WAN controllers in a private data center to maintain full control over infrastructure and data.
- C
Use a hybrid approach where vManage is hosted in a public cloud and vSmart and vBond are hosted in a private data center.
- D
Deploy the SD-WAN controllers on-premises but use public cloud for the SD-WAN data plane.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Organizations with strict compliance requirements that demand full control over infrastructure and data are better suited to host their SD-WAN controllers within a private data center. This approach avoids the risks associated with public cloud hosting, such as data privacy concerns and lack of full control, and fully adheres to the compliance needs.
- A. Incorrect.
This option prioritizes scalability and ease of management but does not address the organization's compliance requirements for full control over infrastructure and data, making it unsuitable.
- B. Correct.
This option aligns with the organization's compliance requirements, as hosting the controllers in a private data center ensures full control over infrastructure and data.
- C. Incorrect.
While a hybrid approach might provide flexibility, it does not fully satisfy the requirement for complete control over all infrastructure and data, as parts of the solution will reside on a public cloud.
- D. Incorrect.
This option introduces a misalignment, as the requirement for full control over infrastructure and data excludes the use of public cloud for any component of the solution.
