Which of the following is a type of data storage that is designed for fast retrieval of frequently accessed data?

  1. Sequential Access Storage

  2. Direct Access Storage

  3. Network Attached Storage

  4. Cloud Storage


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Direct Access Storage (DAS) is a type of data storage that allows data to be accessed directly from the storage device, without having to go through a network or other intermediary.

What is the term used to describe the process of moving data from one storage medium to another?

  1. Data Migration

  2. Data Replication

  3. Data Backup

  4. Data Archiving


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Data Migration is the process of moving data from one storage medium to another, often for the purpose of upgrading or consolidating storage systems.

Which of the following is a type of data storage that is designed for long-term storage of data that is rarely accessed?

  1. Sequential Access Storage

  2. Direct Access Storage

  3. Network Attached Storage

  4. Cloud Storage


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sequential Access Storage (SAS) is a type of data storage that is designed for long-term storage of data that is rarely accessed. Data is stored on magnetic tape, which is a low-cost and durable storage medium.

What is the term used to describe the process of making multiple copies of data for the purpose of redundancy and fault tolerance?

  1. Data Migration

  2. Data Replication

  3. Data Backup

  4. Data Archiving


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Data Replication is the process of making multiple copies of data for the purpose of redundancy and fault tolerance. This ensures that data is still available even if one or more storage devices fail.

Which of the following is a type of data storage that is provided by a third-party provider over the internet?

  1. Sequential Access Storage

  2. Direct Access Storage

  3. Network Attached Storage

  4. Cloud Storage


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cloud Storage is a type of data storage that is provided by a third-party provider over the internet. This allows users to store and access data from anywhere with an internet connection.

What is the term used to describe the process of storing data in a compressed format to reduce the amount of storage space required?

  1. Data Compression

  2. Data Encryption

  3. Data Deduplication

  4. Data Archiving


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Data Compression is the process of storing data in a compressed format to reduce the amount of storage space required. This can be done using a variety of algorithms, such as ZIP, RAR, and GZIP.

Which of the following is a type of data storage that is designed for storing large amounts of unstructured data, such as video, audio, and images?

  1. Sequential Access Storage

  2. Direct Access Storage

  3. Network Attached Storage

  4. Object Storage


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Object Storage is a type of data storage that is designed for storing large amounts of unstructured data, such as video, audio, and images. Data is stored in objects, which are self-contained units that can be easily managed and accessed.

What is the term used to describe the process of removing duplicate copies of data from a storage system?

  1. Data Compression

  2. Data Encryption

  3. Data Deduplication

  4. Data Archiving


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Data Deduplication is the process of removing duplicate copies of data from a storage system. This can be done using a variety of algorithms, such as block-level deduplication and file-level deduplication.

Which of the following is a type of data storage that is designed for storing large amounts of data that is accessed infrequently?

  1. Sequential Access Storage

  2. Direct Access Storage

  3. Network Attached Storage

  4. Cold Storage


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cold Storage is a type of data storage that is designed for storing large amounts of data that is accessed infrequently. Data is stored on magnetic tape or other low-cost, durable storage media.

What is the term used to describe the process of storing data in a secure format to protect it from unauthorized access?

  1. Data Compression

  2. Data Encryption

  3. Data Deduplication

  4. Data Archiving


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Data Encryption is the process of storing data in a secure format to protect it from unauthorized access. This can be done using a variety of algorithms, such as AES, DES, and RSA.

Which of the following is a type of data storage that is designed for storing large amounts of data that is accessed frequently?

  1. Sequential Access Storage

  2. Direct Access Storage

  3. Network Attached Storage

  4. Hot Storage


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Hot Storage is a type of data storage that is designed for storing large amounts of data that is accessed frequently. Data is stored on high-performance storage media, such as solid-state drives (SSDs).

What is the term used to describe the process of storing data in a remote location for the purpose of disaster recovery?

  1. Data Migration

  2. Data Replication

  3. Data Backup

  4. Data Archiving


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Data Backup is the process of storing data in a remote location for the purpose of disaster recovery. This ensures that data is still available even if the primary storage system is damaged or destroyed.

Which of the following is a type of data storage that is designed for storing large amounts of data that is accessed infrequently?

  1. Sequential Access Storage

  2. Direct Access Storage

  3. Network Attached Storage

  4. Warm Storage


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Warm Storage is a type of data storage that is designed for storing large amounts of data that is accessed infrequently. Data is stored on high-performance storage media, such as solid-state drives (SSDs), but it is not as fast as hot storage.

What is the term used to describe the process of storing data in a secure format to protect it from unauthorized access?

  1. Data Compression

  2. Data Encryption

  3. Data Deduplication

  4. Data Archiving


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Data Encryption is the process of storing data in a secure format to protect it from unauthorized access. This can be done using a variety of algorithms, such as AES, DES, and RSA.

Which of the following is a type of data storage that is designed for storing large amounts of data that is accessed frequently?

  1. Sequential Access Storage

  2. Direct Access Storage

  3. Network Attached Storage

  4. Hot Storage


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Hot Storage is a type of data storage that is designed for storing large amounts of data that is accessed frequently. Data is stored on high-performance storage media, such as solid-state drives (SSDs).
