The correct answer is C. Capability to support introducing new remote sites to the network without any redesign E. Unified infrastructure that supports voice, video, data, and wireless. For an expanding multinational retail company consolidating two networks while adding new sites, the design must support scalable site onboarding and a converged unified infrastructure.
Question
A national retail company is expanding their business by adding several international sites in the next 12 months. With their current IT infrastructure, they face a high number of expenses in managing and maintaining their two current data and voice networks. In addition, the business wants to invest in technologies that offer enhancements to business activities and increase employee productivity. Which two technical requirements should be considered during the network design phase? (Choose two.)
Options
- AAbility to provide isolation between the traffic of guests and internal staff (for wired and wireless)
- BProvide traffic isolation to meet the information security requirements.
- CCapability to support introducing new remote sites to the network without any redesign
- DIncrease high availability to support critical traffic such as voice.
- EUnified infrastructure that supports voice, video, data, and wireless

Why each option
For an expanding multinational retail company consolidating two networks while adding new sites, the design must support scalable site onboarding and a converged unified infrastructure.
Guest and staff traffic isolation is a security best practice but is not directly tied to the stated business drivers of international expansion or network consolidation.
Traffic isolation for information security requirements is important but does not specifically address the scalability or convergence goals identified in the business requirements.
Supporting new remote sites without redesign is critical because the company is adding multiple international locations within 12 months, requiring a scalable network architecture that accommodates growth without costly re-engineering.
High availability for voice is a relevant operational concern but is already implied within a unified infrastructure design and does not independently address the core expansion and consolidation requirements.
A unified infrastructure combining voice, video, data, and wireless directly addresses the company's current burden of maintaining two separate data and voice networks, reducing operational expenses while enabling collaboration technologies that increase employee productivity.
