350-401 Question 76
Single answerA network engineer is tasked with deploying multiple virtualized network functions (VNFs) on a Cisco ENCS platform in a branch office. The engineer needs to ensure optimal resource allocation and isolation between VNFs, while also simplifying management. Which technology should the engineer use to achieve this?
- A
Cisco NFVIS (Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure Software)
- B
Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM)
- C
Cisco DNA Center
- D
Cisco SD-Access
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Cisco NFVIS (Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure Software) is the appropriate technology for deploying and managing VNFs on a virtualized platform like Cisco ENCS. It provides the necessary tools for managing resources, ensuring isolation, and simplifying operations for virtualized network services in a branch office environment.
- A. Correct.
Cisco NFVIS is specifically designed for hosting and managing VNFs on platforms like Cisco ENCS. It provides resource allocation, isolation, and simplified management for virtualized network functions, making it the correct choice.
- B. Incorrect.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) is a call control platform for voice and video collaboration. It is unrelated to deploying VNFs or managing virtualization.
- C. Incorrect.
Cisco DNA Center is a management platform for automation and assurance in enterprise networks. While useful for network management, it does not directly facilitate the deployment of VNFs on platforms like ENCS.
- D. Incorrect.
Cisco SD-Access is a solution for policy-based automation in enterprise networks using software-defined networking. It does not pertain to managing VNFs or virtualization.
