A client has requested a new 4TB storage system. They need redundancy built in as well as some
scalability. This should be attached to the current network, consisting of SAS and SCSI based
servers, on a copper gigabit network. Low price is crucial. Which of the following would be the
BEST solution?
A.
A Fiber Channel SAN containing five 1TB FC drives in a RAID 5 configuration, with five empty
slots for expansion.
B.
Four independent 1TB NAS devices.
C.
An iSCSI SAN containing five 1TB SATA drives in a RAID 5 configuration, with five empty slots
for expansion.
D.
Attaching a DAS to one of the existing servers, containing nine 300GB SAS drives in a RAID 5
configuration, with a hot spare drive.
