az-800 Practice Question 1904
Exam: az-800
Domain: Manage storage and file services
Topic: Implement Storage Spaces and Azure File Sync
Difficulty: medium
A company wants to ensure that their on-premises storage system can handle sudden spikes in data access without performance degradation. They are considering using Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) for this purpose. Which of the following best describes the benefit of S2D in this scenario?
Answer Options
A
Enable cloud tiering to move infrequently accessed data to Azure Blob Storage.
B
Implement tiering policies to optimize storage costs by moving data to cheaper tiers.
C
Use Azure File Sync to keep on-premises data synchronized with Azure Files for disaster recovery.
D
Deploy Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) to provide local storage with high availability and performance for sudden data access spikes.
Correct Answer
D: Deploy Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) to provide local storage with high availability and performance for sudden data access spikes.
Explanation
Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) provides a local storage solution that can handle sudden spikes in data access by leveraging multiple nodes for load balancing and fault tolerance, ensuring high availability and performance. Tiering and cloud tiering are not relevant for on-premises performance handling; they are used for managing storage tiers or moving data to the cloud, respectively.
