A storage administrator needs to connect a server to a storage array shared by 12 other servers. Which of the following interface types could be used to accomplish this connection?

Fibre Channel requires a dedicated SAN fabric with FC switches and host bus adapters, making it a separate network overlay rather than a direct storage interface connection.

SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) supports shared storage through SAS expanders and multi-initiator topologies, allowing multiple host servers to connect directly to the same storage array without requiring a separate dedicated fabric infrastructure. This makes SAS a viable interface for shared storage environments in enterprise deployments.

USB is a personal peripheral bus designed for single-host, short-distance connectivity and has no support for enterprise shared storage.

Parallel SCSI has severe multi-host limitations, short cable length restrictions, and is an obsolete technology that cannot practically support 12 concurrent server connections to a shared array.
