In SD-WAN service terms, which organization provides the SD-WAN service to the subscriber?

• A. Service Provider
• B. UCS provider
• C. End User
• D. Data Center

Answer: (A)

SD-WAN service terms define who delivers the network service to the enterprise. The party that provisions, manages, and bills for the SD-WAN—including the transport, control plane, orchestration, and policy enforcement—is the Service Provider. They operate the SD-WAN backbone and offer it to the subscriber as a managed or as-a-service solution. The other options don’t fit: a UCS provider typically offers unified communications services, not the SD-WAN offering itself; the end user is the recipient of the service, not the provider; a data center hosts infrastructure but does not deliver the SD-WAN service to a subscriber.
