What is the first thing you should have the customer investigate before calling EMC Support?
ABC.com tells you that their CX3-40 has suddenly developed a performance problem. Yesterday,
they added a file server to the SAN and created a metaLUN from unallocated space in the array to
provide the capacity needed for their file shares. Now, their Exchange server is experiencing
higher than normal disk queue lengths and performance is degrading rapidly.

which solution should you recommend?
A manufacturing customer has decided to consolidate storage onto a CLARiiON. The customer
uses a mix of Windows and UNIX workstations during the product design process. One of the
customer’s goals is to use point-in-time copies of data to make backups easier. In addition, they
would like to have the ability to use the point-in-time copies to perform a fast recovery in the event
of accidental file deletion. The cost of the solution is important. Your survey of the environment
shows that the read/write ratio of the application is 3:1. The application appears to be insensitive
to disk response times. Based on the information you have gathered, which solution should you
recommend?
