SAN concepts

Which FC SAN topology delivers the best performance and scalability?

  • A cascade
  • B core-edge
  • C full mesh
  • D partial mesh
Explanation

A core-edge FC SAN uses edge switches for end-node connectivity and a smaller core tier to aggregate traffic to shared storage. This structure accommodates growth by adding edge capacity while maintaining efficient, manageable inter-switch connectivity; Cisco recommends it to optimize performance and future scalability.
