What is storage latency?

A. The maximum bandwidth provided by a Fiber Channel switch.

B. The time required for a system to process a storage transaction.

C. The level of availability in a storage sub-system

D. The mini

mum bandwidth provided by an iSCSI initiator.

Explanation:

Latency is a measure of the time required for a sub-system or a component in that sub-system to process a single storage transaction or data request. It-s akin to the propagation delay o

f a signal through a discrete component and is typically a function of hardware. For storage subsystems, latency refers to how long it takes for a single data request to be received and the right data found and accessed from the storage media.
