You have been asked to design a new centralized backup solution for ABC.com. The customer
sent a list with the number of servers, amount of data, daily change rate, annual growth rate and
information about the backup policy (in terms of fulls, cumulatives and incrementals). The
customer wants to be able to satisfy its operational restores requests as quickly as possible. You
decided to design a backup to disk solution, directing all backups to disk then moving (staging) the

data to tape after operational needs are satisfied. What is an important piece of information you
will need to analyze in order to define the point (retention period on disk) where backups will be
moved to tape?

You are a designer for ABC.com. ABC.com requires a ControlCenter Health Check for their
storage infrastructure. Of the following, which type of solutions design engagement is represented
by this?

You are a designer for ABC.com. At ABC.com site, you design a solution for a large SAN and NAS
implementation. You use SAN Copy to migrate SAN data, and you now have to suggest a NAS
migration tool. ABC.com can provide you with a production outage to configure the migration, but
cannot afford another outage later. Which of the following is an EMC migration solution that only
requires a short amount of down time at the beginning of a migration?

.A charity runs its Windows-based database on external disks and plans to move the data onto a
CLARiiON. You plan to gather performance about the current environment. Which method should
you use?

ABC.com’s Exchange environment (10,000 seats) is currently running on six HP servers with
direct attached storage. The exchange servers are using approximately 3TB of storage. The
Exchange administrator gets calls on a daily basis to restore emails that have been deleted. You
have been asked to size the environment to accommodate future growth. What are other sizing
considerations for configuring an Exchange storage environment in addition to the number of
Exchange seats?

You are a designer for ABC.com. ABC.com is planning to migrate its data and Windows hosts
from an existing Symmetrix to a CX700 that was recently added to its enterprise SAN.
ABC.comcurrently utilizes a host-based volume manager to create file systems out of multiple
Symmetrix devices presented to their hosts. ABC.com wants to employ metaLUNs on the CX and
implement SnapView Clones as a local Disaster Recovery (DR) solution. Minimization of
downtime to the hosts is essential. What would be the best method of migration to satisfy

ABC.com’s required objectives and design considerations?

ABC.com runs applications A, B, C, and D daily as follows:
A has its consistent peak workload of 25K IOPS with an average 8KB blocksize for 3 hours from
10am.
B has its consistent peak workload of 25K IOPS with an average 4KB blocksize for 4 hours from
12pm.
C has its consistent peak workload of 45K IOPS with an average 4KB blocksize for 3 hours from
1pm.
D has its consistent peak workload of 15K IOPS with an average 4KB blocksize for 4 hours from
11am.
With performance in mind, ABC.com asks what the minimum number of 2Gbit array ports into a
single array will carry both this workload, as well as a growth of 25%?

ABC.com has decides to implement shared networked storage to assist project development.
There are approximately 40 servers in ABC.com’s environment, of which 25% are Solaris and

75% are Windows. ABC.com currently limits growth for storage and does not want to add
additional servers for that purpose. No more than 30% growth is expected over the next three
years. The storage used for the network file systems have to be maintained on the most cost
effective solution that is the easiest to manage. Storage must also be tracked so that necessary
storage for projects can be charged back to the development teams. Furthermore, the network file
system will be employed for non-project related storage from other departments such as Human
Resources and Accounting. Space allocation for non-project files must be monitored and reports
have to be created for management. You must examine specific qualification information in order
to select the most suitable management application for this environment. What methodology is
best for collecting this information?

ABC.com has four applications ( ABC1, ABC2, ABC3 and ABC4) that run daily as follows:
* ABC1 has its consistent peak workload of 65K IOPS with an average 4KB blocksize for 4 hours
from 9am.
* ABC2 has its consistent peak workload of 20K IOPS with an average 8KB blocksize for 3 hours
from 8am..
* ABC3 has its consistent peak workload of 50K IOPS with an average 4KB blocksize for 4 hours
from 10am..
* ABC1 has its consistent peak workload of 10K IOPS with an average 8KB blocksize for 2 hours
from 11am..
From a performance point of view, what is the minimum number of 2Gbit array ports you would
propose to handle both this workload and 25% growth into a single array?

You are a designer for ABC.com. ABC.com’s Exchange environment (10,000 seats) is currently
running on six HP servers with direct attached storage, with the Exchange servers using about
3TB of storage. The Exchange administrator receives requests to restore emails that have been
deleted on a daily basis. You are asked to design a sizing solution to facilitate future growth in the
environment. In addition to the number of Exchange seats, what are other sizing concerns for
configuring an Exchange storage environment?
