CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 26

A network architect in an enterprise is designing a network policy for certain database applications. The goal of the policy is to allow these applications to access the internet directly, whereas other user and network applications that communicate with systems or users outside their own network must be routed through the data center. The focus is on achieving higher availability and a better user experience for the database applications, but switching between different network paths based on performance characteristics must be supported.

Which solution meets these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Cloud onRamp for SaaS, as it specifically facilitates direct internet access for applications while enhancing performance and reliability, ideal for database applications. Options A and D focus on MPLS and VPN solutions that do not provide the same level of direct internet access, and C is geared towards IaaS rather than SaaS applications, making it less suitable for the stated requirements.
