312-76 Exam Dumps : EC-Council Disaster Recovery Professional v3 (EDRP)

A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a dedicated high-speed network that separates storage devices from servers and user networks, providing centralized block-level storage access.

Option A (NAS):Network Attached Storage uses the user network, not a dedicated one.

Option B (SCSI):Small Computer System Interface, a protocol, not a network (likely a typo for SAS).

Option D (SAS):Serial Attached SCSI, a drive interface, not a network.

“SANs provide a dedicated storage network, isolating storage from server and user traffic for efficiency and security” (Module: Storage Technologies, Section: SAN Overview).

The Open Virtualization Format (OVF) is a standard developed by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) for packaging and distributing virtual machines and software. It ensures interoperability across virtualization platforms, making it a key virtualization standard.

Option A (PCI DSS):A security standard for payment cards, not virtualization-related.

Option B (CSA):An organization, not a standard, focused on cloud security.

Option C (vCloud API):A VMware-specific API, not a DMTF standard.

“The Open Virtualization Format (OVF), established by the DMTF, standardizes virtual machine packaging for portability and compatibility across platforms” (Module: Virtualization and Cloud Computing, Section: Virtualization Standards).

A Virtual Tape Library (VTL) is a disk-based storage system designed to emulate traditional tape libraries, allowing organizations to use existing tape backup software with faster disk-based storage. It uses HDDs to mimic tape functionality, improving backup and recovery speed.

Option B (Mirroring):Involves duplicating data across drives, not emulating tape.

Option C (Disk-to-Disk):Refers to disk-based backups but not specifically tape emulation.

Option D (Snapshot):A point-in-time copy of data, not a tape-like system.

EDRP v3 covers VTL as a modern backup solution under storage technologies, noting its role in bridging tape and disk systems (Module: Data Backup and Recovery).
