A company wants to expand its data center without adding more switches to manage. They plan to use fabric extenders (FEX) connected to parent Nexus switches to connect additional servers. What is the primary benefit of this FEX deployment?

Eliminates the need for upstream core switches

Provides independent routing and switching decisions at the FEX

Simplifies management by extending the parent switch's configuration to the FEX

Increases the total number of management domains in the network

What is the primary function of Cisco MDS directors in a SAN?

Providing high-availability, scalable Fibre Channel switching for storage networks

Acting as a firewall for the data center network

Routing IP traffic between data center VLANs

Providing wireless connectivity for storage devices

What is the purpose of Cisco UCS servers in a data center?

To provide x86 server hardware that can be centrally managed and integrated with the network fabric

To act as network switches for connecting storage devices

To store backup tapes for archival purposes

To provide firewall protection for the data center

A hospital is deploying a new storage array for electronic health records. The storage team needs a dedicated, low-latency network for block-level storage traffic between servers and the array, while the server team wants to keep the existing Ethernet LAN for user traffic. Which type of network should the storage team deploy, and which Cisco device would be the primary choice for the storage network?

A LAN using Fibre Channel, with Cisco MDS directors as the core switches

A LAN using Ethernet, with Cisco Nexus switches as the core switches

A SAN using Ethernet, with Cisco Nexus switches as the core switches

A SAN using Fibre Channel, with Cisco MDS directors as the core switches

What is the purpose of a Fabric Extender (FEX) in a data center?

To provide backup power to servers

To act as a standalone router for inter-VLAN routing

To provide wireless access for mobile devices in the data center

To extend the network fabric from a parent switch to servers, simplifying cabling and management
