D. Deploy a new Fibre Channel SAN solution. The BEST solution for hosting data without impacting performance when accessed in real time by multiple users would be to deploy a new storage solution that can handle the requirements. A Fibre Channel SAN solution is a high-speed storage network that provides dedicated connectivity between servers and storage devices. This type of solution is designed for high-performance applications and can provide the necessary performance for multiple users accessing data in real time. Installing external hard drives for affected users may provide additional storage, but it would not necessarily improve performance, and it would not address the root cause of the issue. Adding extra memory to the server may improve performance, but it would not necessarily be enough to handle the requirements, and it would not address the issue of storage capacity. Compressing the data to increase available space would not necessarily improve performance, and it would add additional overhead for decompression when accessing the data.

Both SAN and NAS systems are network-based storage solutions aimed at providing multiple users 24/7 access to data on-premises and remotely. Here are some differences between the two approaches. Type of network: NAS is connected to devices using a LAN or Ethernet network, while a SAN runs on high-speed Fibre channel.
