Explanation

Cisco Meraki is purpose-built for organizations with distributed locations and small IT teams (D) because its cloud dashboard lets a lean staff manage hundreds of sites without touching hardware on-site. Moving apps to the cloud (E) pairs naturally with Meraki because cloud-managed networking aligns architecturally with cloud-hosted services - both are centrally managed and subscription-based.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• (A) On-site networking experts - skilled staff can handle complex, traditional network infrastructure; Meraki's simplicity is most valuable without that expertise.
• (B) High flexibility/customization - Meraki trades deep customization for ease of use; customers needing granular control (advanced routing policies, complex ACLs) typically choose Cisco IOS-based solutions instead.
• (C) Data center or large campus - these deployments demand enterprise-grade, feature-rich platforms (Catalyst, Nexus) that Meraki's simplified model isn't optimized for.

Memory tip: Think "Distributed + East to cloud" - Meraki shines when sites are spread out and IT is stretched thin, especially as workloads shift to cloud services that match Meraki's own cloud-managed model.
