ABC.com plans to create two regional offices that are between 800 and 2,000 km away from their
main data center. Each regional office will have a data center that will serve four to six branch
offices between 30 and 50 km away.
At the close of business each evening the customer will shut down the application and transmit
changes to each regional office. The amount of new information sent from the head office each
night will vary from 0.5 and 1.5 GB. Later each night, an application at the regional offices will read
the data from the head office and generate approximately 50 MB of new rate information
appropriate for its branch offices.
What is the most cost-effective EMC solution?

ABC.com is preparing to upgrade their Microsoft Exchange environment from Exchange 2003 to
Exchange 2007. They currently use Replication Manager to clone the databases on a regular
interval and would like to use one of the clones to perform the upgrade. The customer has asked
you to provide any prerequisites to accomplish this. What must you tell the customer?

You work as a technician at ABC.com. You carefully examine the exhibit.
Exhibit:

ABC.com is designing an environment in order to archive inactive file data to an EMC Centera at
Site

ABC.com has 35 UNIX servers that use a combination of direct-attached storage and a small SAN
storage system that supports 10 servers. The SAN provides single port access to the servers.
The EMC sales team would like to displace the current SAN storage vendor and increase the
utilization of SAN storage for this customer. The team intends to propose redundant fabrics and
the use of PowerPath. You need to determine the number of HBAs that the customer will require
in each server.
Which information do you need to collect?

ABC.com requires a mechanism to distribute data concurrently from their primary data center to
14 remote data centers. Their storage environment is DMX at all data centers.
Which solution meets their requirements?

ABC.com 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?

You work as an administrator at ABC.com. You study the exhibit carefully.
Exhibit:

ABC.com has a network that uses routers and various types of firewalls. The user at Storage
Admin Workstation #3 requires full EMC ControlCenter management capabilities, including the
ability to allocate storage resources within the array and perform SAN management tasks.
Which user interface should you recommend to the user?

ABC.com currently has a SAN infrastructure with EMC Symmetrix storage arrays. They would like
you to integrate a Celerra NSX into their architecture. They want to take advantage of their
existing synchronous replication.
Which replication solution would you propose?

An enterprise customer cannot tolerate any data loss. They currently use multi-hop SRDF/AR to
protect their data. Production Site A is 32 kilometers from the middle or Bunker Site B. The
Disaster Recovery (DR) Site C is 2,000 kilometers away. The customer has asked you to review
their design so that in the event of a single site disaster they can still maintain remote disaster
protection with minimal synchronization time.
Which solution do you recommend?

You have presented a Celerra with iSCSI solution to ABC.com. They would like to know if it is
possible to automate the creation, management, and usage of replicas for multiple purposes from
the context of the application.
What would have to be implemented in order to achieve the customer’s objective?
