Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals — Question 53

Your company needs to design a database that shows how changes in network traffic in one area of a network affect network traffic in other areas of the network.
Which type of data store should you use?

Answer options

• A. graph
• B. key/value
• C. document
• D. columnar

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A graph database is ideal for modeling complex relationships and interconnections, making it the best choice for analyzing how network traffic in one area influences other areas. Key/value, document, and columnar stores are not optimized for handling intricate relationships between data points, which is crucial for this scenario.
