SK0-004 · Question #260

Which of the following is BEST described as a storage system that can be connected to multiple servers through a fiber channel?

The correct answer is B. SAN. A SAN (Storage Area Network) uses Fibre Channel or iSCSI to deliver block-level storage that multiple servers can access simultaneously.

Why each option

A SAN (Storage Area Network) uses Fibre Channel or iSCSI to deliver block-level storage that multiple servers can access simultaneously.

AJBOD

JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) is a collection of drives without RAID management and is directly attached to a single system, not shared over any network protocol.

BSANCorrect

A SAN is a dedicated high-speed network that uses protocols such as Fibre Channel to connect centralized storage arrays to multiple servers, presenting storage as locally attached block devices. This shared, multi-server block access over Fibre Channel is the defining characteristic that separates a SAN from all other storage architectures listed.

CDAS

DAS (Direct Attached Storage) is physically cabled to a single server and cannot be concurrently shared with multiple servers over a network.

DNAS

NAS (Network Attached Storage) provides file-level access over standard Ethernet using NFS or SMB, not block-level access over Fibre Channel.
