Which product addresses network segmentation issues and is comprised of Viptela and Meraki products?

Question

Options

• ATetration
• BSD-WAN
• CSecurity applications
• DCloud services

• A
  5% (3)
• B
  92% (54)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

SD-WAN (B) is correct because Cisco's SD-WAN solution was built by combining the Viptela acquisition (overlay/controller technology) with Meraki (cloud-managed networking), directly addressing network segmentation by providing centralized policy control across distributed WAN environments.

• Tetration (A) is a workload protection and microsegmentation platform focused on data center analytics, not WAN segmentation.
• Security applications (C) is a broad category, not a specific Cisco product tied to Viptela/Meraki.
• Cloud services (D) describes a deployment model, not a product that combines those two acquisitions.

Memory tip: Think "V-M = VPN Management" - Viptela + Meraki = SD-WAN. Cisco acquired Viptela in 2017 for its SD-WAN controller stack, then layered in Meraki's cloud-managed approach to form their unified SD-WAN portfolio.
