Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v5 — Question 53

What is a benefit of using a Scale-Out NAS system vs. general purpose file servers?

Answer options

• A. For high performance and security NAS supports only NFS protocol
• B. NAS servers are pooled into a cluster of independent NAS nodes
• C. File system grows dynamically as nodes are added to the NAS cluster
• D. For high performance and security NAS supports only CIFS protocol

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, highlights that a Scale-Out NAS system can dynamically expand its file system when new nodes are added, enhancing scalability. Options A and D incorrectly suggest that NAS is limited to only one protocol, while B describes clustering but does not mention the dynamic growth of the file system.
