PK0-005 Practice Question: Basics of IT Infrastructure and IT Project Management
Which TWO of the following are key components of IT infrastructure that a project manager should consider when planning a new software deployment? (Choose two.)

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Storage area network (SAN)
A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a dedicated, high-speed network that provides block-level storage access to servers. For a new software deployment, the project manager must ensure that the SAN has sufficient capacity, IOPS, and connectivity to support the application's storage requirements, making it a critical infrastructure component.
