Question

Options

• ACisco Smart Business Architecture is a blueprint for delivering the three Cisco architectures in a modular
• BCisco Smart Business Architecture guides are available for enterprise-size deployments only.
• CCisco Validated Designs are end-to-end designs that are well-tested and fully documented.
• DCisco Validated Designs provide proven design solutions that include only Cisco products, thus ensuring

• A
  81% (25)
• B
  13% (4)
• D
  6% (2)

Explanation

Options A and C are correct because Cisco Smart Business Architecture (SBA) is specifically designed as a modular blueprint that delivers Cisco's core architectures (Borderless Networks, Collaboration, and Data Center/Virtualization) in structured, prescriptive building blocks - and Cisco Validated Designs (CVDs) are comprehensive, end-to-end design guides that have been rigorously tested and fully documented by Cisco engineers to ensure reliable deployment.

Option B is wrong because SBA guides are aimed at small-to-medium businesses (SMBs), not enterprise-only deployments - that distinction is a classic trap on this exam. Option D is wrong because CVDs are not restricted to Cisco-only products; they can include third-party interoperability, and the claim of exclusivity is both factually incorrect and a red flag given the statement is also cut off.

Memory tip: Think of the acronyms - CVD = "Certified, Verified, Documented" (tested end-to-end), and SBA = "Small Business Architecture" (modular, SMB-focused). If a choice says CVDs are Cisco-only or SBA is enterprise-only, it's a distractor flipping the real facts.
