Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 379

Which storage solution operates at the file level and contains its own native lightweight operating system on simplified hardware?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, NAS, which is designed to operate at the file level and includes its own lightweight OS, making it efficient for file sharing. SAN, on the other hand, operates at the block level and does not have a file system, while unified fabric refers to a network architecture and is not a storage solution. A standard file server, while it serves files, typically relies on a general-purpose operating system rather than having its own dedicated OS.
