CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 73

A company has just refreshed the hardware in its datacenter with new 10G Ethernet switches. A technician wishes to set up a new storage area network but must use existing infrastructure. Which of the following storage standards should the technician use?

Answer options

• A. iSCSI
• B. Fibre Channel
• C. NAS
• D. InfiniBand

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, NAS, as it operates over standard Ethernet networks, making it compatible with the newly installed 10G Ethernet switches. iSCSI (A) and Fibre Channel (B) are also storage networking protocols, but they may not be suitable given the requirement to use existing Ethernet infrastructure. InfiniBand (D) is a high-performance network architecture that is not typically used in standard Ethernet environments.
