What are the typical networking modes of a FusionStorage cluster? (Multiple choice)

Question

Options

• AIsolated front-end and back-end storage networks.
• BIntegrated front-end and back-end storage network.
• CTCP/IP, InfiniBand, and RoCE networks.

• A
  100% (62)

Explanation

All three options correctly describe the networking modes supported by a FusionStorage cluster, covering both logical topology and physical transport dimensions. Options A and B represent the two logical deployment topologies: isolated (separate networks for client-facing front-end traffic and internal back-end storage replication traffic) and integrated (a single network carrying both traffic types - simpler but less performance-isolated). Option C describes the physical transport technologies FusionStorage supports - standard TCP/IP Ethernet, high-speed InfiniBand, and RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) - each offering different performance and latency characteristics.

Since all choices are correct, there are no wrong distractors to eliminate here; the question tests whether you know that "networking modes" encompasses both logical topology choices (A, B) and physical transport protocols (C), not just one category.

Memory tip: Think "2 topologies + 3 transports = all correct" - FusionStorage gives you the choice of how to separate traffic (A vs. B) and what wire/protocol to use (C), and the exam expects you to recognize all of these as valid networking mode categories.
