Correct.

Incorrect. SAN solutions are generally more complex than direct-attached storage, and they require more advanced skills to implement and maintain.

Correct.

Incorrect. Although a SAN can be most cost efficient over a long period of time, its initial implementation is typically more costly than the cheaper direct-attached alternatives.

Incorrect. This solution includes multiple potential points of failure.

Incorrect. DAS does not always provide redundancy, meaning some components represent a single point of failure.

Incorrect A NAS solution has some redundant components, but is still vulnerable to a single point of failure in some places.

Correct. The redundant nature of SAN's components prevents a single point of failure.

Incorrect. DAS is considered distributed storage.
