A software engineering company has decided to implement shared networked storage to facilitate
project development. There are approximately 40 servers in the company; 25% are Solaris and
75% are Windows. The company currently limits growth for storage and does not want to add
additional servers for that purpose. They anticipate no more than 30% growth over the next three
years.
The storage utilized for the network file systems must be maintained on the most cost-effective
solution that is the easiest to manage. However, storage must also be tracked so that the required
storage for projects can be charged back to the development teams. Additionally, the network file
system will be used 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
generated for management.
In order to select the most appropriate management application for this environment, you need to
analyze specific qualification information. What is the best methodology to collect this information?
A.
Interview product development team leads and department heads. Determine current and
projected storage requirements and any retention policies currently in use.
B.
Provide the EMC qualification document to the customer and have them complete the form.
C.
Request network configuration information and performance characteristics. Collect Grabs from
all server systems and process with HEAT.
D.
Collect Grabs from all server systems and process with HEAT. Consolidate the findings and
summarize on the qualification document.
