What are the two biggest factors that determine IOPS when using SSDs in a Dell EMC SC Series array?

• Current latency and queue depth
• Application block size and overall throughput
• Multi-tenant arrays and tier configuration
• Read/write percentage and peak workload

An ISP needs a data storage solution that allows them to set policies over resource usage. The solution needs to support network multi-tenancy while also providing full network failover protection.What combination of Dell EMC SC Series features meets these requirements?

• Thin Replication and Storage Profiles
• VLAN Tagging and QoS
• Multi-protocol and Live Volume
• Replication and vVols

A storage administrator wants to do a tech refresh from a legacy EQL system to a new Dell EMC SC Series array. What is needed to correctly size the new array?

• Latency
• Peak IOPS information
• Storage tiers
• Contract support end date

A customer has invested much time using the Dell PS Series Host Integration Toolkit (HIT) to integrate SAN snapshot protection with Microsoft SQL Server native snapshot technology. The customer expresses concern about whether Dell EMC SC Series cross-platform replication supports that capability.What should be your response?

• Recreate integration on the SC Series array and use only SC-to-SC replication for those volumes.
• Leverage the integration investment and use only PS-to-PS replication on those volumes.
• Cross-platform replication works with SC Series HIT integrations.
• Cross-platform replication works with PS Series HIT integrations.

What is a benefit of restoring data from a Dell EMC Unity snapshot?

• Can select which Consistency Group members have data restored
• Supports replication to up to 32 remote systems
• Enables efficient storage usage with 8 KB block granularity
• Does not require additional pool storage

At what granularity are blocks deduplicated on a Dell EMC PowerStore array?

• 4 KB
• 8 KB
• 32 KB
• 64 KB

A customer asks you about the maximum load of their new Dell EMC SC Series array. Which term should you use in response?

• MB
• IOPS
• CPU Cycles
• Latency

What is a consideration when sizing a Dell EMC SC Series system for capacity?

• Read/Write ratio
• IOPS
• Page size
• RAID overhead
