QuestionQ1

Differentiate and apply foundational storage architectures and technologies

A customer’s large-scale network must meet these goals:

  • Many-to-many connectivity that requires high performance
  • Unknown or fluctuating I/O traffic patterns
  • SAN-wide storage pooling connected to backbone switches

Which type of FC SAN fabric should the customer implement?

Explanation

A core-edge fabric uses core switches to provide high-bandwidth, redundant connectivity for edge switches. It is suited to high-performance many-to-many connectivity, unknown or changing I/O traffic patterns, and SAN-wide storage pooling; the core switches function as the fabric backbone.
