300-445 Question 6
Select 3Your organization is deploying an enterprise network assurance solution to monitor and optimize network performance. To support scalability and high availability, you are tasked with designing the architecture for this platform. Which of the following components and design considerations should be included to ensure the solution is aligned with best practices for enterprise environments?
- A
Deploy redundant controllers to ensure high availability.
- B
Ensure the network assurance platform supports APIs for third-party integrations.
- C
Design the platform with a single, centralized controller to simplify management.
- D
Implement distributed data collection points to reduce latency and enhance scalability.
- E
Use proprietary protocols exclusively to ensure compatibility with vendor-specific devices.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
Enterprise network assurance solutions should be designed to support high availability, scalability, and integration with other tools. Redundant controllers and distributed data collection points are key architectural components for achieving these goals, while support for APIs ensures adaptability and extensibility. Avoiding single points of failure and proprietary-only protocols further enhances robustness and compatibility.
- A. Correct.
Deploying redundant controllers ensures high availability, which is critical for enterprise environments where uptime is essential.
- B. Correct.
Support for APIs enables the platform to integrate with third-party tools, enhancing its functionality and adaptability.
- C. Incorrect.
Using a single, centralized controller may simplify management, but it creates a single point of failure and limits scalability.
- D. Correct.
Distributed data collection points help reduce latency and improve scalability, especially in geographically dispersed networks.
- E. Incorrect.
Relying solely on proprietary protocols can limit compatibility and flexibility, making it harder to integrate with diverse network environments.
