QuestionQ478

Storage Network

What is one advantage of NFS compared with Fibre Channel?

  • A NFS removes the impact of IP overhead.
  • B NFS enables thin provisioning for LUNs.
  • C NFS provides direct access to the underlying storage hardware.
  • D NFS provides the dynamic allocation of storage capacity.
Explanation

NFS provides file-level storage, allowing capacity to be allocated dynamically as data is written rather than requiring storage to be preallocated into fixed-size LUNs.
