ABC.com, who has 10 Solaris and 30 Windows servers in their environment, employ shared
networked storage to aid project development. ABC.com does not want to add additional servers
for storage as they currently limit storage growth. Expansion over the next three years is predicted
to be not in excess of 30%.The storage made use of, for the network file systems, must be
maintained on a solution that is the most cost effective as well as the easiest to manage. Storage
must also, however, be trailed so that essential storage for projects can be charged back to the
development teams. Also, the network file system will be used for storage, which is not related to
projects, from other departments. Space allocation for non-project files needs to be monitored and
reports should be generated for management. What is the best method of assembling the specific
qualification information, which you need to analyze, so that you can choose the most suitable
management application for this environment?

A.
CollectGRABs from all server systems and process with HEAT. Consolidate your findings and
summarize on the qualification document

B.
Request network configuration information and performance characteristics. Evaluate ability of
the network to support additional management monitoring

C.
Provide the EMC qualification document to ABC.com and have them complete the form

D.
Interview product development team leads and department heads. Determine current and
projected storage requirements and any retention policies currently in use
