   A retail chain is deploying SD-WAN to 300 small store locations. Each store has a small network closet with limited space and no rack. The stores connect via a single broadband link and a 4G LTE backup. The chain's IT team wants a device that can be mounted on a wall or placed on a shelf, and that supports the LTE modem for failover. Which form factor and feature combination is most appropriate?

   • AA rack-mount device with modular WAN interface cards for future expansion.
   • BA desktop form factor with built-in LTE support and dual Ethernet WAN ports.
   • CA high-throughput rack-mount device with redundant power supplies for maximum reliability.
   • DA virtual SD-WAN appliance running on a store's existing server.

   A global enterprise is deploying SD-WAN to 1,000 sites across multiple countries. The network operations team uses a centralized SD-WAN management platform to enforce security policies and push firmware updates. The team is evaluating two devices: Device A integrates fully with the management platform but has limited built-in security features; Device B has advanced security features but requires manual configuration at each site. Which device should the enterprise select?

   • ADevice A, because central management is the most critical requirement for 1,000 sites.
   • BDevice A, because it can be centrally managed and security features can be added later.
   • CNeither device, because the enterprise needs both central management integration and advanced security features.
   • DDevice B, because advanced security features are more important than management integration.

   A financial institution is deploying SD-WAN to 100 branches. The institution requires advanced security features, including intrusion prevention and URL filtering, on all traffic. The security team wants to manage policies centrally and push updates to all devices. The branches generate 300 Mbps of traffic each. The institution is comparing two devices: Device A has strong security features but limited central management integration; Device B has basic security features but excellent central management integration. Which device should the institution select?

   • ADevice B, because its excellent central management integration ensures consistent policy enforcement.
   • BNeither device, because the institution needs both advanced security features and central management integration.
   • CDevice A, because its advanced security features meet the inspection requirements.
   • DDevice A, because security features are more important than management integration.
