Which of the following technologies allows you to decouple the physical storage hardware from the storage requirements of the applications that use it, providing a flexible storage solution?

a. File and Storage Services

b. Virtual provisioning

c. Disk Management

d. Software-defined storage

The answer is D. Software-defined storage

Explanation:

Software-Defined storage (SDS) is a storage design that isolates storage software from its hardware. It is built to perform optimally on any x86 or industry-standand system and removes software dependencies on hardware.

With software-defined storage in place, your storage limit can be increased greatly, making it versatile, adaptable and cost effective.
