CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 83

A server administrator has noticed that the storage utilization on a file server is growing faster than planned. The administrator wants to ensure that, in the future, there is a more direct relationship between the number of users using the server and the amount of space that might be used. Which of the following would BEST enable this correlation?

Answer options

• A. Partitioning
• B. Deduplication
• C. Disk quotas
• D. Compression

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Disk quotas are effective in managing storage by limiting the amount of disk space that each user can consume, thereby creating a direct relationship between the number of users and the total storage used. Other options, such as partitioning, deduplication, and compression, do not directly limit space per user, making them less suitable for this specific requirement.
