CompTIA DataX (CNX-001) — Question 49
A network architect needs to design a new network to connect multiple private data centers. The network must:
Provide privacy for all traffic between locations.
Use preexisting internet connections.
Use intelligent steering of application traffic over the best path.
Which of the following best meets these requirements?
Answer options
- A. MPLS connections
- B. SD-WAN
- C. Site-to-site VPN
- D. ExpressRoute
Correct answer: B
Explanation
SD-WAN is the best solution because it provides secure connectivity over the internet, ensuring privacy and the ability to intelligently route traffic based on current network conditions. MPLS connections are private but do not utilize preexisting internet connections, while site-to-site VPNs may not offer the same level of application steering. ExpressRoute is a private connection option that doesn't leverage the internet directly.
