A company is planning to expand its network across multiple geographic locations and requires a scalable and flexible networking solution that can manage diverse traffic types efficiently while also allowing centralized management. Which technology would be most appropriate for their needs?
Software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) is specifically designed to extend enterprise networks over large geographic areas, offering benefits such as centralized control, enhanced security, improved bandwidth use, and support for multiple connection types (MPLS, broadband, LTE). SD-WAN simplifies managing wide area networks by using centralized control functions to securely and intelligently direct traffic across the WAN. This leads to increased performance and reduced costs; therefore, making it the most appropriate choice for the company's requirements.
Other answers, though related to networking functions, do not specifically address the need for a wide geographic network with centralized management capabilities that SD-WAN provides.
