- A.NAS
- B.SAN
- C.DAS
- D.PAS
- Answer & Explanation
- Report
Answer : [C]
Explanation :
Explanation :
One of the key features of DAS is that there is no network connection standing between the server and the storage, as is the case with SAN and NAS. |

Which of the following is not an advantage of NAS?
- A.A NAS has lower latency and higher reliability than a SAN.
- B.A NAS typically supports multiple RAID methods.
- C.A NAS supports high throughput.
- D.Implementing a NAS is inexpensive.
- Answer & Explanation

Answer : [A]
Explanation :
Explanation :
On the contrary, a NAS has higher latency and lower reliability than a SAN. |

Which of the following is an advantage of a SAN?
- A.Ethernet troubleshooting is well understood.
- B.Implementing a SAN is inexpensive.
- C.It’s possible to leverage legacy investments
- D.Sharing is made easier by the fact that the SAN is not connected directly to any network or server.
- Answer & Explanation

Answer : [D]
Explanation :
Explanation :
While sharing is made easier by the fact that the SAN is not connected directly to any network or server, a SAN is expensive, doesn’t use Ethernet, and doesn’t allow you to leverage legacy investments in non-fiber technologies. |

Which of the following uses the Fibre Channel protocol?
- A.NAS
- B.SAN
- C.DAS
- D.PAS
- Answer & Explanation
- Report
Answer : [B]
Explanation :
Explanation :
In a classic SAN, devices communicate using the Fibre Channel protocol over a fiber network of storage devices typically connected to a Fibre Channel switch. This means that any servers that will be directly connected to this fiber network must have a host bus adapter (HBA) installed that can communicate on the fiber network. |
