Over the past few years, a customer has experienced tremendous growth of data in their data center.
In order to accommodate the growing data, they are planning to move inactive data off the primary storage to nearline storage.
Which solution should be used to accomplish this requirement?

A customer wants to consolidate their MS Exchange environment. The current environment consists of 4,250 mailboxes with an average size of 75 MB. The customer’s priorities are:
1. Price
2. Storage availability
3. Performance
4. Ease of management

Which best meets the customer’s criteria?

A customer is consolidating several arrays of various tiers into a single DMX4. Their applications have varying workloads and will be placed on the appropriate tier of storage. Missioncritical application service levels must be met.
Which feature can be implemented on the new DMX such that applications are serviced by shared disk resources that are based on customerassigned criteria?

A customer is interested in enabling their organization’s disaster recovery goals through the use of MirrorView/A across a telecommunications link to a CLARiiON in a remote facility.
What describes the potential impact of this on the customer’s production CX340 array?

Refer to the Exhibit.

A customer uses concurrent SRDF/S and SRDF/A from Site A to two remote locations (B and C) as shown in the exhibit. In the event of a disaster at Site A, the customer switches the production operations to Site B and connects B and C via SRDF to provide remote data protection.
Which set of actions must be taken to replicate from Site B to Site C?

When designing a storage solution, what is a common best practice used to estimate response times from a given resource as utilization increases?

A customer has requested that you provide the number of physical disks required to support its Microsoft Exchange 2007 Storage Groups. The company has 12,500 users each with an average workload of 1.2 IOPS. At peak activity, up to 10,000 users could be logged in to Exchange.
What other information is required to accurately calculate the number of required disk spindles to meet the user IOPS requirements?

Which SAN Distance Extension technology enables the transmission of information by tunneling data between remote sites over IP networks?

Refer to the Exhibit.

A customer has collected response time performance data from their CLARiiON array due to problems they are experiencing with overall array response times. They have created a graph of the data that is displayed in the exhibit.
The customer has a CX340 with 22 Windows hosts and replicates several LUNs with SnapView periodically throughout the day. How would you explain the peak in response times given the overall performance profile shown?

A customer is managing an EMC NetWorker environment with one EMC NetWorker server and one storage node that backs up approximately 70 clients. The amount of data to back up increases over a period of time that results in backups taking more than 24 hours to complete.
You use EMC Backup Advisor to analyze the current environment and find that the tape infrastructure and the network are performing fine.
What would you recommend to improve the backup performance for this environment?
