• BEdge 540
• CEdge 510
• DEdge 620

• D

Explanation

Edge 540 is the correct answer because it is a rack-mountable (1U) appliance designed for branch office deployments that supports up to 2 Gbps of bandwidth - precisely matching both the form factor and performance requirements while remaining cost-effective at the branch scale.

Edge 3400 (A) is wrong because it is a high-capacity, enterprise/data-center-grade appliance supporting far greater bandwidth than 2 Gbps, making it significantly more expensive and over-engineered for branch offices. Edge 510 (C) is wrong because it is a desktop form factor device - it cannot be rack-mounted and supports lower bandwidth, failing both key requirements. Edge 620 (D) is wrong because it targets a higher performance tier than needed here, making it less cost-effective compared to the 540 for this use case.

Memory tip: Think "540 = Sweet spot for the rack" - the "5" series covers branch office needs, but the 540 is the one that steps up to rack mounting and 2 Gbps, while the 510 stays on the desk. When you see rack + 2 Gbps + cost-effective branch, that combination points directly to the 540.
