VMware Data Center Virtualization Fundamentals — Question 34

Which storage protocol allows administrators to reduce the total number of network ports used in the network environment?

Answer options

• A. Fibre Channel over Ethernet
• B. Virtual SAN
• C. Fibre Channel
• D. Network File System

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, because it combines storage and networking traffic over a single network infrastructure, thereby reducing the number of ports required. Options B, C, and D do not inherently provide the capability to consolidate network ports in the same manner as Fibre Channel over Ethernet.
