300-420 Question 315
Single answerAn organization is planning to migrate its on-premises applications to a cloud provider while ensuring low latency, high reliability, and secure connectivity. The organization also wants to integrate its existing MPLS network with the chosen cloud solution. Which cloud connectivity option would best meet these requirements?
- A
Direct Connect
- B
Cloud OnRamp
- C
MPLS Direct Connect
- D
Internet-based VPN
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
MPLS Direct Connect is the best option for organizations that require low-latency, secure, and reliable connectivity to a cloud environment while integrating their existing MPLS network infrastructure. Other options like Direct Connect or Internet-based VPN either lack MPLS integration capabilities or do not meet the required performance and security standards.
- A. Incorrect.
Direct Connect provides a dedicated, low-latency connection to a cloud provider, but it does not inherently integrate with an MPLS network.
- B. Incorrect.
Cloud OnRamp is a part of Cisco SD-WAN solutions and is designed to optimize cloud application performance, but it does not specifically address MPLS integration.
- C. Correct.
MPLS Direct Connect is the most suitable option as it allows secure, low-latency, and reliable connectivity to the cloud while integrating the MPLS network.
- D. Incorrect.
Internet-based VPN is a cost-effective solution but is typically less reliable and secure compared to dedicated connectivity options like MPLS Direct Connect.
