You have recently been introduced to a prospective customer that conducts seismic analysis for the U.S. Geological Survey. Its data is growing rapidly, and it has outgrown its direct-attached storage infrastructure. The customer is requesting bids on centralized storage arrays to house the data files and provide the back-end storage for the analysis application servers. Because it is a new company, it is very price-sensitive and has a limited budget. Which platform would you recommend?

Your customer wants to add more servers to its existing storage array. The array is connected to several switches, which are linked together into two separate fabrics. Each host has two HBAs for redundancy. You tell the customer that you have to consider the fan-in ratio. What is the fan-in ratio?

A company’s environment consists of a Symmetrix/Celerra implementation.
Recently, the company has had an urgent need to save as much space as possible. The systems administrator wants a solution that will recover accidentally deleted files and use the least amount of space.
Which solution meets the customer requirements?

A customer has hundreds of servers attached to many heterogeneous arrays, with poor utilization. The customer contacted EMC and expressed interest in consolidation. In an initial meeting with the customer, the following requirements were identified:
