Episode 85 — Storage Access Protocols — NFS, CIFS, iSCSI, FC, NVMe-oF
from Certified - CompTIA Cloud+ Audio Course · host Jason Edwards
In this episode, we break down the protocols used to access and manage cloud storage. Network File System (NFS) and Common Internet File System (CIFS) are file-level protocols, while Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) and Fibre Channel (FC) provide block-level access. NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) is discussed as a high-performance option for low-latency storage networking. We explain the operational benefits and trade-offs of each protocol.We also highlight common use cases, compatibility considerations, and performance implications, ensuring you can select the right protocol for a given environment. In the Cloud+ exam, understanding these protocols is essential for both deployment and troubleshooting tasks. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, where you’ll find more cyber prepcasts, books, and information to strengthen your certification path.
