Which of the following best describe the symmetrical approach? (Choose all that apply)
A.
In-band solution resides directly in the data path between the server and the disk farm.
B.
Latency is created within the data path because the data must traverse the additional hardware located between the server and its disks.
C.
In-band virtualization appliances are more complex to manage and deploy.
D.
None of the above
Explanation:
A: In-band solution resides directly in the data path between the server and the disk farm, storage performance can be affected and latency and availability issues can appear.
B: Latency is created within the data path because the data must traverse the additional hardware located between the server and its disks Incorrect Answers: C: In-band virtualization appliances are easier to manage and deploy, which lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO) when compared with out-of-band solutions.
