CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 262
An organization that upgraded their system 10 years ago is now facing issues with their applications in the core network. Support teams have shared their findings in which some of the hardware and links needs to be upgraded to support newly provisioned bandwidth hungry applications. The design team has started working on the new design and has also requested to provision some of the application and network services in the cloud to immediately overcome current issues.
Which service type fits this use case?
Answer options
- A. NaaS
- B. IaaS
- C. SaaS
- D. DaaS
- E. PaaS
Correct answer: A
Explanation
NaaS (Network as a Service) is the correct answer because it provides network services over the internet, allowing organizations to upgrade their network infrastructure on-demand. The other options like IaaS, SaaS, DaaS, and PaaS focus on different aspects of cloud services, such as infrastructure, software, data, and platform services, which do not specifically address the need for network upgrades to support bandwidth-intensive applications.
