In which two ways does Cisco address resource constraints for customers? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AExtended datacenter support
• BloT device hardware upgrades
• CEnvironment control via URL filtering and AVC
• DEnable many features via one appliance
• EConsolidated training

• B
  5% (1)
• C
  86% (19)
• E
  9% (2)

Explanation

Cisco tackles resource constraints by offering consolidated functionality and intelligent traffic management. Option D is correct because combining multiple security and networking features into a single appliance reduces hardware costs, physical space, power consumption, and management overhead - directly relieving resource pressure. Option C is correct because URL filtering and Application Visibility and Control (AVC) allow administrators to govern network behavior through software policy rather than requiring additional hardware, optimizing existing infrastructure.

The distractors fail because A (extended datacenter support) is a service/support concept, not a resource-constraint solution; B (IoT hardware upgrades) describes adding resources rather than constraining or optimizing them; and E (consolidated training) addresses human skill development, not infrastructure or operational resource constraints.

Memory tip: Think "fewer boxes, smarter traffic" - D = one box does many jobs (consolidation), C = control what flows through that box (optimization). Both reduce what you need to spend or deploy.
