CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 197

A company is deploying a SAN at headquarters and a branch office 1,000mi (1,609km) away that will access small amounts of data. Which of the following types of connections would be MOST cost effective to implement?

Answer options

• A. iSCSI
• B. FCoE
• C. Ethernet
• D. FC

Correct answer: A

Explanation

iSCSI is the most cost-effective option for connecting a SAN over long distances, especially when only small amounts of data need to be accessed. FCoE and FC are generally more expensive due to the need for specialized hardware, and while Ethernet is less expensive, it may not provide the necessary performance for SAN applications.
