Huawei Certified ICT Associate – Storage (HCIA-Storage) — Question 39

What is typical for a DAS solution? (Choose all that apply.)

Answer options

• A. Sharing of files between DAS solutions is possible via the network.
• B. Consists of a server/host with its locally connected disk drives.
• C. More scaleable in capacity than a SAN solution.
• D. Backups are centrally made on a special backup server.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because a DAS (Direct Attached Storage) solution typically consists of a server with directly connected storage devices. Option D is also correct as backups in a DAS setup are often managed on a dedicated backup server. Options A and C are incorrect because DAS does not facilitate file sharing over a network like SAN does, and it is generally less scalable than SAN solutions.
