Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v4 — Question 98

What accurately describes the scale-out storage architecture?

Answer options

• A. Scales the capacity only within a single storage system.
• B. Provides a fixed capacity ceiling that limits scalability beyond a storage system.
• C. Provides the capability to maximize its capacity by adding nodes to the cluster.
• D. Restricts scalability to the limits of the storage controllers.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because scale-out storage architecture allows for increased capacity through the addition of nodes, enabling more resources. Options A and D are incorrect as they imply limitations within a single system or controller, while option B incorrectly suggests a fixed capacity ceiling that is not characteristic of scale-out architectures.
