Which storage technology should you recommend?
The best choice for consolidating data and adding additional block-based storage to the document management application of the customer with five standalone servers and 10 Gb networking would be a Storage Area Network (SAN). SANs are designed to provide high-speed, block-level network access to storage, which is ideal for environments requiring significant storage resources and high performance. Unlike Direct Attached Storage (DAS), which is connected directly to a single server, or Network Attached Storage (NAS), which typically provides file-based storage, SANs are better suited for the block-based storage needs described in this scenario.
B is correct. Typically a SAN offers block-level storage (iSCSI/FC), and a NAS offers SMB/Cifs (though some also offer block-level)
