1 node

2 nodes

3 nodes

4 nodes

19. In Nutanix, what does replication factor (RF) determine?

The number of times data is copied across nodes

The speed of data transfer between nodes

The compression ratio of stored data

The maximum cluster size

Controller VM (CVM)

Hypervisor kernel

Management console

External storage array
