Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v4 — Question 3

In an archiving environment, how is a content address created in a content addressable storage (CAS) system to store an object?

Answer options

• A. From the metadata of an object.
• B. By using the logical address of the memory space.
• C. From the binary representation of an object.
• D. By using the physical address of the storage device.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a content address in a CAS system is derived from the binary representation of the object, ensuring that each object can be uniquely identified. The other options are incorrect as metadata, logical addresses, and physical addresses do not provide the unique identification required for content addressable storage.
