ABC.com is interested in a solution that provides detailed reports on all the files, file systems,
Oracle databases, SQL Server databases, and Exchange servers in their environment. In order to
design a suitable solution, which information do you need to gather?

One design goal for storage security is to map server access to storage. This is based on the
security classification of the data utilized by the particular server. As a best practice, which level of
granularity should be used to enforce a particular security access level within a storage device?

ABC.com is planning a second data center 20 miles (30 km) away. The second site is intended as
both a disaster recovery (DR) site and a second tier data repository for less important data.
Average latency between sites is less than 20 ms.
As part of the information gathering process, you determine that this customer can accept up to 30
minutes of data loss. The company has a total of 120 LUNs that will need to be replicated.
You have gathered Navisphere Analyzer data for a normal working day. You note the following
values:
Write response time: 5ms
Read response time: 14ms
Write/s: 400
Read/s: 700
CLARiiON CX3-80 in both data centers
FLARE 26
No clones will be used
Which solution do you recommend?

In a SRDF/S environment, ABC.com fails over to the disaster recovery (DR) site and runs
production at the DR site for several hours. Which step will ensure a restartable point-in-time copy
of the data prior to failing back?

ABC.com has a DMX3000 at their headquarters (Site X). They currently run two applications on
the DMX3000, both of which need to be replicated for DR purposes. The first application needs to
be replicated to Site Y, which is 32 kilometers away. The second application needs to be mirrored
at a different site, Site Z, which is 26 kilometers away. At a minimum, which additional Symmetrix
and remote director hardware is required to implement the solution?

ABC.com’s OLTP environment resides on a DMX2000 with 30 146 GB 15k drives to satisfy the
IOPS requirement of the application. The customer is about to refresh the storage environment
and deploy a DMX-4.
Which feature can be incorporated in the DMX-4 to reduce the disk count and still satisfy the
application’s IOPS requirement?

A customer is interested in archiving data for a custom-developed application. They currently have
no archive platform in place for the information used by this application and are extremely
concerned about performance. They would like the archive to be designed for the fastest
sustainable long-term performance. There are no regulatory concerns in this environment.
Which EMC Centera design will meet this goal?

ABC.com’s network security engineer has attended a lecture on the various security weaknesses
of storage protocols. The security engineer is concerned about WWN spoofing attacks against
their DMX-3.
Which Symmetrix feature could you discuss that will reduce the customer’s concerns?

ABC.com has four applications (A, B, C, and D) that run daily as follows:
Application A has its consistent peak workload of 25 K IOPS with an average 8 KB blocksize for 3
hours from 10 A.M.
Application B has its consistent peak workload of 25 K IOPS with an average 4 KB blocksize for 4
hours from Noon
Application C has its consistent peak workload of 45 K IOPS with an average 4 KB blocksize for 3
hours from 1 P.M.
Application D has its consistent peak workload of 15 K IOPS with an average 4 KB blocksize for 4
hours from 11 A.M.
From a performance point of view, what is the minimum number of 2 Gb array ports that can
handle both the workload and 25% growth into a single array?

ABC.com 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?
