What are two advantages of the Cisco SD-WAN technology? (Choose two.)

While SD-WAN simplifies some aspects of network operations, 'easier deployment' is not a universally emphasized primary advantage compared to the specific benefits of application experience and cloud connectivity.

Cisco SD-WAN uses application-aware routing to intelligently direct traffic over the best performing paths, ensuring critical applications receive priority and thus enhancing the overall application experience for users.

SD-WAN provides optimized cloud connectivity by enabling direct and secure access to cloud-hosted applications and services, reducing latency and improving the efficiency of cloud-bound traffic.

'Consistent connectivity' is a fundamental network expectation, whereas SD-WAN's specific benefit is to proactively optimize and improve, rather than just maintain, connectivity.

SD-WAN offers advanced monitoring and analytics, which aid in proactive network management, but 'proactive network management' is a broad outcome rather than a distinct core advantage like application or cloud optimization.
