A systems administrator is reviewing network architecture specifications for a newly constructed data hall. The architecture includes a dedicated high-speed Fibre Channel network dedicated to block-level storage transfers between server nodes and disk arrays within the facility. Additionally, peripheral telemetry sensors monitoring cabinet thermal conditions transmit data over short-range Bluetooth links operating within a two-meter radius around each rack. Which of the following network scope classifications correctly identifies the block-level storage architecture and the cabinet telemetry sensor architecture, respectively?
- SAN (Storage Area Network) for the block-level storage architecture, and PAN (Personal Area Network) for the cabinet telemetry sensor architectureCevap
- BLAN (Local Area Network) for the block-level storage architecture, and WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) for the cabinet telemetry sensor architecture
- CMAN (Metropolitan Area Network) for the block-level storage architecture, and LAN (Local Area Network) for the cabinet telemetry sensor architecture
- DWAN (Wide Area Network) for the block-level storage architecture, and PAN (Personal Area Network) for the cabinet telemetry sensor architecture
Cevap
The block-level storage network is classified as a SAN (Storage Area Network), while the short-range Bluetooth telemetry sensor network is classified as a PAN (Personal Area Network).
Storage Area Networks (SANs) are high-speed, dedicated networks providing block-level network access to storage arrays. Personal Area Networks (PANs) provide ultra-short-range communication (such as Bluetooth) between devices centered around a single rack or workspace. Therefore, SAN and PAN correctly categorize the storage fabric and telemetry sensors, respectively.
