Which option lists the storage provisioning model that uses local server storage?

• A. Thick and Thin
• B. VMware Storage Area Network
• C. Local DAS
• D. Virtual SAN

Answer: (B)

Using local server storage means the disks are directly attached to the host without going through a separate storage network. This is Direct Attached Storage (Local DAS). Local DAS presents the host with its own disks, so provisioning happens on that server the storage sits on. In contrast, a Storage Area Network uses remote storage accessed over a network, and Virtual SAN builds a shared datastore from local disks across multiple hosts. Thick versus thin provisioning affects how much storage is allocated upfront, not where the storage resides.
