NEW QUESTION # 217
The General Bank of Greece plans to upgrade its legacy end-of-life WAN network with a new flexible, manageable, and scalable solution. The main requirements are ZTP support, end-to-end encryption, application awareness, and segmentation. The CTO states that the main goal of the bank is CAPEX reduction.
Which WAN technology should be used for the solution?

  • A. SD-WAN
  • B. SD-branch
  • C. Managed SD-WAN
  • D. DMVPN with PfR

Answer: A

Explanation:
In this case, the bank seeks a solution that addresses scalability, manageability, application visibility, security (encryption and segmentation), and operational simplicity while aiming to reduce capital expenses. All these characteristics point directly to an SD-WAN architecture.
A non-managed (self-hosted) SD-WAN deployment:
* Supports Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), reducing deployment time and operational burden.
* Provides application-level visibility and intelligent path control.
* Enables strong segmentation and end-to-end encryption via templates and policy engines.
* Helps reduce CAPEX through the use of lower-cost broadband and centralized management.
While a "managed SD-WAN" solution (Option C) might be suitable in some cases, it typically involves higher OPEX. The question emphasizes CAPEX reduction, favoring an in-house SD-WAN solution.
This approach aligns with CCDE v3.1's "Scenario-based Design Strategy Guidance" and "Technology Comparisons and Use Cases" topics that emphasize selecting technologies aligned to business objectives and architectural scalability.
