Dell EMC Associate – PowerEdge Server Specialist — Question 51

A customer requires an external storage for their Dell EMC PowerEdge server which allows them to efficiently share files between systems.
What type of storage will meet the requirement?

Answer options

• A. NAS
• B. DAS
• C. SDS
• D. SAN

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, NAS (Network Attached Storage), as it is specifically designed for file sharing over a network, making it ideal for the customer's needs. DAS (Direct Attached Storage) is limited to a single system, SDS (Software-Defined Storage) is a more abstract concept not tied to specific hardware, and SAN (Storage Area Network) is more complex and typically used for block-level storage rather than file sharing.
