Which feature of Prisma SD-WAN ensures high availability (HA) of network services?

Question

Options

• ASSL Forward Proxy
• BActive / active architecture
• CSecure Web Gateway
• DDual VPN tunnels

• A
  6% (1)
• B
  94% (16)

Explanation

Active/active architecture (B) is correct because Prisma SD-WAN achieves high availability by running both network paths simultaneously - traffic is distributed across multiple links at the same time, eliminating single points of failure and removing the failover delay inherent in standby-based designs.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. SSL Forward Proxy - a security inspection feature that decrypts/re-encrypts SSL traffic; it has nothing to do with network path redundancy or uptime.
• C. Secure Web Gateway - a security service for filtering and controlling web traffic; it addresses threat protection, not HA.
• D. Dual VPN tunnels - while dual tunnels do add redundancy, they typically imply an active/standby model where one tunnel is idle until failover. Active/active is the broader architectural principle that uses such redundancy simultaneously, making B the more precise and correct answer.

Memory tip: Think "Active/Active = Always Available." The two A's in active/active mirror the two A's in high AvAilability - both paths are live, so there's no wait for a backup to kick in.
