What is a benefit of using a purpose-build NAS solution vs general purpose file servers?
- A . provides more efficient file sharing across Windows and Linux users
- B . provides higher network security and efficient object sharing across Windows and Linux users
- C . provides more efficient object sharing across Windows and Linux users
- D . provides higher compute security and efficient file sharing across Windows and Linux users
A
Explanation:
A file server is a computer that provides a location for shared disk access, i.e. storage of computer files (such as text, image, sound, video) that can be accessed by other computers on the same network2. A general purpose file server is a file server that serves shares such as team shares, user home folders, work folders and software development shares3.
According to 4, a purpose-built NAS solution is a storage system that simplifies data management with easy NAS file sharing. A NAS solution provides shared access to files over a network using protocols such as NFS and SMB/CIFS5.
Based on these definitions4, a benefit of using a purpose-built NAS solution vs general purpose file servers is A. provides more efficient file sharing across Windows and Linux users6. This is because a purpose-built NAS solution supports both NFS and SMB/CIFS protocols that enable file sharing across different operating systems5.

- A . Higher connectivity density
- B . Higher WAN bandwidth
- C . Higher transmission distances
- D . Higher LAN bandwidth
What is a benefit of a “recovery-in-place” backup approach in a virtualized data center?
- A . Provides instant recovery of a failed virtual machine
- B . Reduces the recovery point objective
- C . Eliminates redundant data during virtual machine backups
- D . Eliminates the backup window
What is a benefit of implementing a big data ecosystem?
- A . Applies new processing and management methods to derive better business value from unstructured data
- B . Implements new technical and analytical methods to derive business value from large object data
- C . Applies new processing and management methods to improve large relational database response performance
- D . Implements new technical and analytical methods to derive business value from large datasets
