Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 511

What is an advantage of NAS compared to SAN?

Answer options

• A. It provides lossless throughput.
• B. It offers enhanced NFS features.
• C. It functions in an existing IP environment.
• D. It offers enhanced security features.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because NAS operates using standard IP networks, making it easier to integrate into existing infrastructures. Options A and D are more relevant to SAN, which focuses on block storage and may not provide lossless throughput as a primary benefit. Option B, while potentially true, does not address the fundamental operational environment advantage of NAS.
