CompTIA Cloud+ (CV1-003) — Question 44

A systems administrator is building a new virtualization 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, because it integrates compute and storage resources in a single system, allowing for shared access among multiple hosts. Options A and B refer to different types of storage architectures, while D describes a method of disk provisioning that does not inherently involve shared storage across hosts.
