CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 234

A cloud solutions architect is working on a private cloud environment in which storage consumption is increasing daily, resulting in high costs. Which of the following can the architect use to provide more space without adding more capacity? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Tiering
• B. Deduplication
• C. RAID provisioning
• D. Compression
• E. Flash optimization
• F. NVMe

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Deduplication eliminates duplicate copies of data, thereby freeing up storage space, while compression reduces the size of stored data, allowing for more information to fit within the same capacity. Other options like tiering, RAID provisioning, flash optimization, and NVMe do not directly increase available space without adding physical capacity.
