CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 162

A systems administrator is building a new visualization cluster. The cluster consists of five virtual hosts, which each have flash and spinning disks. This storage is shared among all the virtual hosts, where a virtual machine running on one host may store data on another host. This is an example of:

Answer options

• A. a storage area network.
• B. a network file system.
• C. hyperconverged storage.
• D. thick-provisioned disks.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, hyperconverged storage, which integrates storage and compute resources in a single solution, allowing for shared storage across multiple hosts. Options A and B refer to different storage configurations that do not specifically combine compute and storage resources like hyperconverged infrastructure does. Option D, thick-provisioned disks, refers to a specific disk provisioning method rather than a storage architecture.
