N10-009 · Question #248
Which of the following is most likely to work with an FC connection and offers more scalability?
The correct answer is B. SAN. A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a high-speed, block-level storage network commonly utilizing Fibre Channel (FC) for connectivity and offering superior scalability.

Why each option
A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a high-speed, block-level storage network commonly utilizing Fibre Channel (FC) for connectivity and offering superior scalability.
Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) is storage directly connected to a single server and does not typically use FC for connectivity, nor does it offer the same level of scalability as a SAN for shared access.
A Storage Area Network (SAN) is designed for block-level data storage and commonly uses Fibre Channel (FC) as its underlying protocol for high-speed, low-latency connectivity. SANs provide significant scalability by allowing multiple servers to access shared storage resources, making them ideal for high-performance applications and large-scale data storage.
SSE (Server Side Encryption) is a data protection feature for storage, not a type of storage network or connection, and is unrelated to FC or scalability in this context.
Network-Attached Storage (NAS) provides file-level data storage over a standard Ethernet network using protocols like NFS or SMB, not Fibre Channel, and has different scalability characteristics than a SAN.
