A customer is storing data on their primary storage server and using EMC NetWorker to back up this server. They have been experiencing a significant increase in their backup windows during full backups.
You analyzed the customer’s environment and verified that the backup schedules and levels are configured correctly. You also noticed that a large amount of data on the primary storage server has been infrequently accessed.
What should you suggest to the customer to reduce their backup windows?

A small business customer performing data backups for all hosts connected to a CLARiiON array has backup times that are getting too long. The customer is currently backing up 10 hosts, one at a time, over their 100 Mb network to a backup server with a SCSI AIT 3 tape drive.
Which architectural change should you recommend to reduce the backup times for the environment?

What is the maximum number of log sets that need to be accounted for in designing a storage solution for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Standard Edition?

A customer migrated OLTP applications from servers with directattached storage to new servers using a CLARiiON array. Users are complaining about poor application performance. The following information is available for your review:
Performance Manager data on CLARiiON and SAN switches Current CLARiiON configuration information Oracle statistics for the applications EMC Grabs on the new servers You suspect that cache settings on the CLARiiON array are not appropriate. What is the best method to validate your suspicions?

A software engineering company has decided to implement shared networked storage to facilitate project development. There are approximately 40 servers in the company 25% are Solaris and 75% are Windows. The company currently limits growth for storage and does not want to add additional servers for that purpose. They anticipate no more than 30% growth over the next three years.
The storage utilized for the network file systems must be maintained on the most costeffective solution that is the easiest to manage. However, storage must also be tracked so that the required storage for projects can be charged back to the development teams. Additionally, the network file system will be used for nonprojectrelated storage from other departments such as Human Resources and Accounting.
Space allocation for nonproject files must be monitored and reports generated for management.
In order to select the most appropriate management application for this environment, you need to analyze specific qualification information. What is the best methodology to collect this information?

Using SAN Copy, a source Windows LUN of 100 GB has been copied to a 200 GB target LUN. After assigning the target LUN to the new host and running Disk Administrator to recognize the drive, what must be done to the Windows partition on the new host to see the LUN as 200 GB?

A customer has just purchased a Global File Virtualization (GFV) and File Management Application (FMA) appliance and are very concerned with high availability. They have also ordered File Management High Availability (FMHA) but have not received it yet. The customer needs to implement a solution as soon as possible.
What should you propose for FMA high availability until the FMHA arrives?

A customer likes the deduplication benefits of an EMC Avamar solution and is interested in implementing it in their environment. The customer would like to know how deduplication works with restores and has asked you to explain the restore process with Avamar.
How does EMC Avamar construct the files for restores?

A customer is planning to implement encryption within their data center. The customer is considering applicationlevel encryption as a solution. They have asked you for guidance concerning the extent of access provided by this level of encryption.
From which system components are applicationencrypted data protected?

A customer is using Symantec NetBackup for backups in their environment. They have multiple physical tape libraries that are used for backups and clone operations at the primary data center and a disaster recovery site. The backup data is cloned daily to the remote disaster recovery site.
The customer’s backups are taking longer and are not able to complete the clone operations within one day to meet their service level objectives. What should you recommend to manage the clone operations efficiently and to improve the backup performance?
