In the context of storage security, what is the primary goal of data encryption?
- A . To speed up data access
- B . To protect data confidentiality
- C . To ensure data deduplication
- D . To manage user access
What is true about the FCIP?
- A . connects local iSCSI SANs to remote FC SANs
- B . connects local FC SANs to remote FC SANs
- C . connects local iSCSI SANs to remote iSCSI SANs
- D . connects local FC or iSCSI SANs to remote FC or iSCSI SANs
What is a function of the NDMP server in an NDMP-based backup approach?
- A . Reads the data from the storage device and sends the data to the backup device
- B . Reads the data from the backup server and sends the data to the backup device
- C . Instructs the NAS head to startthe backup operation
- D . Instructs the backup agent on the client to send the data to the backup device
What is an advantage of deploying a purpose-built, disk-based backup appliance in a data center environment?
- A . Eliminate the need for performing source-based deduplication.
- B . Convert the capital expenditure to an operational expenditure.
- C . Lower the recovery time objective of an organization.
- D . Retain the fixed content for longer periods in the data center.
What is a benefit of using an existing Ethernet network infrastructure for storage connectivity?
- A . Provides a dedicated network for storage
- B . Ensures security by allowing only localized data movement
- C . Ensures lossless transmission of FC traffic
- D . Reduces overall cost of the network infrastructure
Which components should be used for interconnecting hosts to storage systems in FC SANs?
- A . FC directors
FC hubs
FC FL_Ports - B . FC switches
FC directos
FC E_Ports - C . FC switches
FC hubs
FC N_Ports - D . FC switches
FC directors
FC FE_Ports
B
Explanation:
FC SANs components include network adapters, cables, and interconnecting devices. The interconnecting devices can be FC switches or FC directors, which are more scalable and reliable than FC hubs. The ports on these devices can be FC E_Ports, which connect two switches or directors together to form a fabric, or FC F_Ports, which connect to host or storage devices with FC N_Ports.
What describes an advantage of the changed block tracking backup technique?
- A . Increase backup device performance
- B . Enable restoration to any point-in-time
- C . Eliminate the need for data deduplication
- D . Reduce the backup window
What is an accurate statement about variable prefetching?
- A . Many blocks that have recently been written to storage by the compute system are retrieved and placed in cache.
- B . Many non-contiguous blocks that are not currently required can be retrieved from cache in advance.
- C . Storage system prefetches data in multiples of the original I/O request size from the compute system.
- D . Storage system prefetches many non-contiguous blocks of data, with varied sizes, from cache.
What is the purpose of the policy engine in a data archiving environment?
- A . Moves the appropriate data into archive storage automatically
- B . Automates the process of identifying the data to move from archive to primary storage
- C . Facilitates manual searching for archived data in archive storage
- D . Enables manual migration of older archived data between archive storage devices
In which stage of the business continuity planning lifecycle does an organization identify critical business processes and assign recovery priorities?
- A . Analyzing
- B . Establishing objectives
- C . Designing and developing
- D . Implementing
