CV0-002 · Question #362
Which of the following is considered to be shared access file-level storage?
The correct answer is A. NAS. Network Attached Storage (NAS) is a file-level storage solution that provides shared access to files over a network, allowing multiple users or systems to access data concurrently. It typically uses standard network protocols like SMB or NFS to present storage as network shares.

Why each option
Network Attached Storage (NAS) is a file-level storage solution that provides shared access to files over a network, allowing multiple users or systems to access data concurrently. It typically uses standard network protocols like SMB or NFS to present storage as network shares.
Network Attached Storage (NAS) is a dedicated file storage device that connects to a network and allows multiple users and heterogeneous client devices to retrieve data from centralized disk capacity. It operates at the file level, presenting storage as shared folders or files over standard network protocols like SMB/CIFS or NFS.
DAS (Direct Attached Storage) is storage directly connected to a single server and is not designed for shared access among multiple clients over a network.
SAN (Storage Area Network) provides block-level storage access, where servers see storage as raw disks or volumes, rather than file-level access.
LUN (Logical Unit Number) is a logical representation of a portion of a physical disk or an entire disk in a SAN environment, not a type of shared file-level storage itself.
