A financial services firm runs a mission-critical database that requires very high IOPS and low latency. The storage administrator needs to provision storage that appears to the database server as a local disk and can be scaled by adding more disks to the storage array. Which storage networking technology provides this capability?

Direct-attached storage (DAS) inside the server

A NAS appliance exporting an SMB share

A NAS appliance exporting an NFS share

A SAN providing block-level LUNs over Fibre Channel

What is a primary advantage of using iSCSI for storage networking?

It provides higher performance than Fibre Channel in all cases

It is a file-level protocol that supports NFS and SMB

It can run over existing Ethernet infrastructure, reducing cost

It eliminates the need for any network switches

How does storage networking contribute to high availability?

By storing data only on a single server's local disk

By using only one switch to avoid complexity

By enabling redundant paths and failover between servers and storage

By requiring manual intervention for any path failure

An organization is designing a new SAN for a virtualized server environment. The SAN must support multiple paths between servers and storage for redundancy, and it must be able to scale to hundreds of devices. The team is comparing Fibre Channel topologies. Which topology should they choose?

Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL)

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)

What is the primary role of storage networking in a data center?

To provide a dedicated, high-speed path for servers to access shared storage resources

To provide internet connectivity to storage devices

To connect end-user devices directly to each other for file sharing

To replace the need for any physical storage devices in the data center
