SG0-001 · Question #334

Which of the following can be applied to data stores to conserve storage capacity and/or bandwidth?

The correct answer is C. Data deduplication. Data deduplication is a storage optimization technique that identifies and eliminates redundant copies of data, thereby conserving storage capacity and reducing bandwidth usage.

Why each option

Data deduplication is a storage optimization technique that identifies and eliminates redundant copies of data, thereby conserving storage capacity and reducing bandwidth usage.

ACompliance

Compliance refers to adhering to regulatory requirements and is not a method for reducing storage capacity or bandwidth.

BArchiving

Archiving moves less frequently accessed data to a lower-cost storage tier, which manages primary storage but does not inherently reduce the overall data volume or bandwidth for the stored data.

CData deduplicationCorrect

Data deduplication operates by identifying duplicate blocks or files across a data store and storing only one unique instance, replacing subsequent duplicates with pointers. This process significantly reduces the physical storage space required and can also decrease network bandwidth consumption during replication or backup operations as only unique data segments are transmitted.

DMultipathing

Multipathing creates redundant I/O paths between a server and storage for performance and fault tolerance, not for conserving storage capacity or bandwidth.
