A new city API gateway is delayed because the hardware firewall's licensed feature set does not include the needed function. Which traditional challenge do software-defined network services address?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Waiting on a firewall SKU is like the city holding a new bus route until a particular vendor ships a bolt-on. Software-defined services add the function in NSX without that hardware queue. The API gateway should not sit idle on a license dongle.
Full Explanation
Traditional hardware appliances couple new network functions to SKUs, licenses, and refresh cycles. Software-defined services such as NSX-T features, and where identified NSX Advanced Load Balancer, can provide NAT, load balancing, firewalling, and related functions without waiting on a new hardware feature license. Horizon True SSO and Carbon Black scanning are not the network-virtualization answer to appliance lock-in. NSX does not require the physical firewall to grow the same feature first.
