Which storage technology is IP-based?

SCSI
DAS
FCP
NAS

The correct answer is: NAS

The correct answer is NAS, which stands for Network-Attached Storage. NAS is designed to connect to a network and allows multiple users and devices to access files over IP networks. It utilizes standard network protocols, which means it can seamlessly integrate with existing network infrastructures. This makes NAS an efficient solution for file sharing, backups, and collaboration among users across a range of devices. In contrast, SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is a set of standards for connecting and transferring data between computers and peripheral devices, which is not intrinsically IP-based. DAS (Direct-Attached Storage) refers to storage devices directly connected to a computer, like external hard drives, and does not involve networking protocols for access. FCP (Fibre Channel Protocol) is used for high-speed networks and storage area networks (SANs) but does not leverage IP for communication. Therefore, NAS is unique among these options for its native use of IP-based networking to facilitate storage access and file transfer.
