Question 20
Correct
Points out of 1.00
A client asks for an explanation of client side compression.
Which statement best explains the benefits of client side
compression?
Select one:
Files are compressed by the server after in-line
deduplication for containers, which conserves network
bandwidth when writing to the cloud.
Files are compressed by the client before
transmission, which conserves network bandwidth
and server storage.
Compression is performed by the storage hardware, thus
conserving server storage.
Duplicate data is only stored once - out of band
deduplication to the disk pool, and inline deduplication to
directory or cloud pools.
