A financial services firm requires a disaster recovery solution for its critical online transaction processing (OLTP) database, which has a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of near-zero. The primary and DR sites are 150 km apart. Which Dell replication technology is the most suitable choice to meet this stringent RPO requirement?
A manufacturing company is deploying a large-scale IoT sensor network on its factory floor. Data must be processed locally with minimal latency to control machinery in real-time. Sending all raw data to a central data center for processing is not feasible due to network bandwidth constraints and latency requirements. Which computing model is the most appropriate architecture for this scenario?
A storage administrator is provisioning a new LUN on a Dell PowerStore array for a database's transaction logs. The primary requirement is the highest possible write performance and data protection against a single drive failure. Which RAID level is the optimal choice for this specific workload?
During the configuration of a new Fibre Channel fabric, an administrator needs to connect a port on a Dell PowerSwitch to a port on a server's Host Bus Adapter (HBA). According to FC terminology, what are the respective port types on the switch and the HBA?
A healthcare organization was the victim of a ransomware attack that successfully encrypted its primary storage and all network-accessible backups. To build a more resilient data protection strategy, which Dell solution should be implemented to provide an isolated, air-gapped copy of critical data for recovery?
A systems administrator observes that nightly incremental backups of a large file server are transferring an excessive amount of data and taking longer than expected, even on days with few file changes. The backup software relies on the archive bit. What is the most likely cause of this issue?
A media company needs a storage solution for its massive archive of high-resolution video files. The key requirements are extreme scalability into petabytes, durability, and the ability for web applications to access files via a RESTful API. Which type of storage system is the best fit for these requirements?
To implement Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and ensure lossless data transmission over the Ethernet network, which TWO of the following Data Center Bridging (DCB) extensions are mandatory? (Select TWO)
True or False: In a software-defined storage (SDS) environment like Dell PowerFlex, the storage and control planes are tightly coupled with the underlying proprietary hardware.
What is the primary operational benefit of implementing a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution such as Dell VxRail compared to a traditional three-tier architecture (separate servers, storage, and networking)?
