Question 1 of 30
In a data center environment, a network architect is tasked with designing a storage area network (SAN) that optimally balances performance and redundancy. The architect decides to implement a Fibre Channel SAN with a dual fabric topology. Each fabric consists of 16 ports, and the architect plans to connect 8 storage arrays and 8 application servers to each fabric. If each port can handle a maximum throughput of 4 Gbps, what is the total theoretical bandwidth available for each fabric, and how does this configuration impact the overall performance and redundancy of the SAN?
64 Gbps total bandwidth per fabric, providing high availability and load balancing.
32 Gbps total bandwidth per fabric, limiting redundancy options.
128 Gbps total bandwidth per fabric, but with potential single points of failure.
48 Gbps total bandwidth per fabric, which may lead to congestion under heavy load.
