The Cisco SD-WAN subscription cost is based on two factors: the features and the service bandwidth. The features are determined by the subscription tier, which can be Cisco DNA Essentials, Cisco DNA Advantage, or Cisco DNA Premier. Each tier offers different levels of functionality, security, and analytics for the SD-WAN solution. The service bandwidth is the aggregated WAN bandwidth across all the edge devices in the SD-WAN fabric. The subscription cost is calculated as the product of the feature price per Mbps and the service bandwidth. For example, if the feature price per Mbps for Cisco DNA Advantage is $2 and the service bandwidth is 100 Mbps, the subscription cost for one year is $2 x 100 x 12 = $240012

The other factors, such as the hypervisor platform, the security, and the routing protocol, are not used in calculating the Cisco SD-WAN subscription cost. The hypervisor platform is the virtualization environment where the SD-WAN edge software can run, such as VMware ESXi, KVM, or Microsoft Hyper-V. The security is the protection of the SD-WAN network from threats and attacks, which can be enhanced by integrating with complementary products and applications, such as Cisco Umbrella, Cisco SIG Essentials, or Cisco Secure Malware Analytics. The routing protocol is the method of exchanging routing information between the SD-WAN edge devices and the external networks, such as BGP, OSPF, or EIGRP. These factors are not directly related to the subscription cost, but rather to the deployment options, the security requirements, and the network design of the SD-WAN solution34

 A WAN design is a plan for how to connect multiple sites or locations over a wide area network (WAN). A WAN design can have various benefits, depending on the goals and requirements of the organization. Two of the possible benefits from a WAN design are:

• Ensure remote site uptime: A WAN design can help to ensure that remote sites or branches have reliable and consistent connectivity to the central site or the cloud. This can improve the availability and performance of critical applications and services, such as voice, video, collaboration, and data backup. A WAN design can also provide redundancy and resiliency in case of network failures or disasters, by using multiple WAN links, backup routes, or failover mechanisms. For example, SD-WAN is a WAN design that uses software to dynamically route traffic over the best available WAN link, based on the network conditions and the application requirements1.
• Prioritize and secure with granular control: A WAN design can also help to prioritize and secure the traffic and applications that flow over the WAN. This can enhance the quality of service (QoS) and the security of the network. A WAN design can use various techniques, such as traffic shaping, policy-based routing, encryption, firewall, or VPN, to classify, prioritize, and secure the WAN traffic according to the business needs and the security policies. For example, TrustSec is a WAN design that uses software-defined segmentation to enforce granular access policies based on the identity and context of users, devices, and applications2.

The other options, provide lower quality service to guest users, reduce cost and increase operational complexity, and lower circuit bandwidth requirements, are not benefits from a WAN design. Providing lower quality service to guest users is not a desirable outcome, as it can affect the user experience and the reputation of the organization. Reducing cost and increasing operational complexity is a trade-off that may not be worth it, as it can create more challenges and risks for the network management and maintenance. Lowering circuit bandwidth requirements is not a benefit in itself, but a means to achieve other benefits, such as reducing cost or improving performance. A WAN design should aim to optimize the bandwidth utilization and allocation, rather than simply lowering it. References := : 1: Cisco SD-WAN Solution Design Guide (CVD) - Cisco1, 2: Cisco TrustSec Solution Overview - Cisco

A vEdge Cloud Router is a virtualized version of the vEdge router that can be deployed in various cloud environments. According to the Cisco vEdge Cloud Data Sheet1, the vEdge Cloud Router can be instantiated as a virtual machine (VM) on a KVM hypervisor or as a VM on a VMware ESXi hypervisor, as well as in public cloud environments, such as Amazon AWS or Google Cloud Platform. Therefore, the two platforms that can host a vEdge Cloud Router are AWS and Microsoft Azure.
