SK0-003 · Question #261

Which of the following is a storage system that can be connected to multiple servers through an iSCSI connection?

The correct answer is D. SAN. A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a dedicated storage system providing block-level access to multiple servers, commonly utilizing iSCSI for network connectivity.

Why each option

A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a dedicated storage system providing block-level access to multiple servers, commonly utilizing iSCSI for network connectivity.

AJBOD

Just a Bunch of Disks (JBOD) is an enclosure for hard drives and does not inherently provide network-based, multi-server access via iSCSI.

BDAS

Direct Attached Storage (DAS) is storage connected directly to a single server and is not designed for shared access by multiple servers via iSCSI.

CNAS

Network Attached Storage (NAS) provides file-level access over a network using protocols like SMB or NFS, rather than block-level iSCSI access for multiple servers.

DSANCorrect

A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a specialized, high-speed network that provides block-level storage to multiple servers. iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) is a protocol frequently used within a SAN to encapsulate SCSI commands over standard TCP/IP networks, enabling servers to access remote storage as if it were directly attached block devices.
