Question

Due to a recent application migration, a company's current storage solution does not meet the necessary requirements tor hosting data without impacting performance when the data is accessed in real time by multiple users. Which of the following is the BEST solution for this Issue?

Options

  • AInstall local external hard drives for affected users.
  • BAdd extra memory to the server where data is stored.
  • CCompress the data to increase available space.
  • DDeploy a new Fibre Channel SAN solution.

Explanation

A Fibre Channel SAN (Storage Area Network) is purpose-built for high-performance, low-latency storage access by multiple concurrent users. It uses a dedicated high-speed network (separate from the LAN) to connect servers to a centralized storage pool, delivering enterprise-grade IOPS and throughput. Local external hard drives (A) do not scale for multi-user access and add management complexity. Adding server RAM (B) can help with caching but does not address the fundamental storage throughput limitation. Compressing data (C) may save space but does not solve performance issues and can actually add CPU overhead.
