A customer uses a large number of cloud apps What is one benefit of an Aruba SD-Branch solution for this customer?

Question

Options

• AThe customer can add new cloud apps to the branch more easily using features such as Aruba
• BThe Aruba solution enables a more direct path for cloud apps. rather than backhauling them
• CThe Aruba solution requires all cloud traffic to go through the data center to increase security for
• DThe customer can choose to deploy Aruba Central in the public cloud of their choice, including

• A
  6% (2)
• B
  82% (27)
• C
  9% (3)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option B is correct because SD-Branch (Software-Defined Branch) solutions are specifically designed to provide direct-to-cloud connectivity, allowing branch users to access cloud applications without routing traffic back through a central data center - a practice called "backhauling." This dramatically reduces latency and improves performance for cloud-heavy workloads.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is a partial distractor - while SD-Branch does simplify management, ease of adding apps isn't the core benefit described; the phrase is vague and doesn't capture the actual network traffic advantage.
• C is the opposite of what SD-Branch does - forcing all cloud traffic through the data center is the legacy approach SD-Branch replaces, and it actually hurts performance without meaningfully increasing security for cloud apps.
• D is a red herring about Aruba Central's deployment flexibility, which is a management-plane detail unrelated to the cloud app performance benefit the question asks about.

Memory tip: Think of SD-Branch as creating an "express lane" for cloud traffic - instead of every cloud request taking a detour back to HQ (backhaul), it goes straight to the destination. If a question mentions many cloud apps + branch offices, the answer almost always points to eliminating backhaul as the key benefit.
