SK0-003 · Question #130

Which of the following storage technologies connects by TCP/IP and is separate from the companys LAN?

The correct answer is D. SAN. The storage technology that connects via TCP/IP and is typically separate from a company's main LAN for block-level access is a Storage Area Network (SAN), particularly when implemented with iSCSI.

Why each option

The storage technology that connects via TCP/IP and is typically separate from a company's main LAN for block-level access is a Storage Area Network (SAN), particularly when implemented with iSCSI.

ATape library

A tape library stores data on magnetic tapes and is not primarily defined by its TCP/IP connectivity separate from a LAN for active data access.

BNAS

Network Attached Storage (NAS) connects directly to the existing LAN and provides file-level access over TCP/IP, meaning it is an integral part of the company's LAN rather than separate from it.

COptical jukebox

An optical jukebox is a device for storing and retrieving optical discs and is not a network storage technology designed for TCP/IP connectivity separate from a LAN.

DSANCorrect

A Storage Area Network (SAN) can utilize iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) to transmit block-level storage data over standard TCP/IP networks, allowing the storage network to be logically or physically separate from the company's general-purpose LAN. This separation dedicates bandwidth and resources specifically for high-performance data access by servers.
