350-401 Question 24
Single answerAn enterprise is planning a wireless deployment for a remote branch office with limited IT staff. The branch office requires a cost-effective solution that provides centralized management and does not rely on hardware controllers at the branch location. Which wireless deployment model best meets the requirements?
- A
Centralized deployment model
- B
Distributed deployment model
- C
Controller-less deployment model
- D
Cloud-based deployment model
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The cloud-based deployment model is the most suitable choice for a remote branch office with limited IT staff because it provides centralized management through a cloud-based interface without requiring hardware controllers at the branch location. This reduces the need for on-site IT expertise and hardware investment, aligning with the requirements of the scenario.
- A. Incorrect.
The centralized deployment model requires hardware controllers located in a central site, which is not ideal for a remote branch with limited IT staff or budget constraints.
- B. Incorrect.
The distributed deployment model involves local controllers or autonomous access points at the branch, which would still require significant on-site management and hardware investment, making it less suitable for this scenario.
- C. Incorrect.
The controller-less deployment model, while simple, does not provide centralized management capabilities, which is a key requirement for the enterprise.
- D. Correct.
The cloud-based deployment model allows centralized management via the cloud without the need for hardware controllers at the branch, making it cost-effective and suitable for a remote branch with limited IT staff.
