Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (CTIA) — Question 6
In which of the following storage architecture is the data stored in a localized system, server, or storage hardware and capable of storing a limited amount of data in its database and locally available for data usage?
Answer options
- A. Distributed storage
- B. Object-based storage
- C. Centralized storage
- D. Cloud storage
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Centralized storage is correct because it involves keeping data in a single location, making it readily accessible but limited in capacity. In contrast, distributed storage spreads data across multiple locations, object-based storage manages data as objects rather than files, and cloud storage relies on remote servers accessed via the internet, which differs from localized storage.
