Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v4 — Question 114

What is a benefit of using an existing IP-based network infrastructure for storage connectivity?

Answer options

• A. Provide a dedicated network for storage
• B. Provide the ability to extend the network over long distances
• C. Ensure lossless transmission of FC traffic over Ethernet
• D. Ensure security by allowing only localized data movement

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because using an existing IP-based network allows for greater flexibility and the capability to cover extensive distances. Option A is incorrect as it implies a dedicated network, which isn't a benefit of using existing infrastructure. Option C is wrong since lossless transmission is more relevant to Fibre Channel than to IP networks. Option D is misleading because data movement can occur over broader areas rather than being restricted to localized environments.
