Which layer of the OSI model provides the functional and procedural methods to transfer data between network entities?
A. Data link
B. Presentation

What is an accurate statement about variable prefetching?
A. Many blocks that have recently been written to storage by the compute system are retrieved and placed in cache.
B. Many non-contiguous blocks that are not currently required can be retrieved from cache in advance.
C. Storage system prefetches data in multiples of the original I/O request size from the compute system.
D. Storage system prefetches many non-contiguous blocks of data, with varied sizes, from cache.
A company plans to deploy a new application in their environment. The new application requires 2 TB of storage space. During peak workloads, the application is expected to generate 4500 IOPS with a typical I/ O size of 4 KB. The capacity of each available disk drive is 250 GB. In addition, the maximum number of IOPS a drive can perform at with a 70% utilization is 90 IOPS.
What is the minimum number of disk drives needed to meet the application's capacity and performance requirements for a RAID 0 configuration?
A. 8
B. 40
C. 50
D. 70
Based on the exhibit, what does the "X", "Y", and "Z" represent in a NAS environment?
A. X = FC SAN, Y = IP Network, and Z = NAS Gateway
B. X = IP Network, Y = FC SAN, and Z = NAS Gateway
C. X = FC SAN, Y = NAS Gateway, and Z= IP Network
D. X = IP Network, Y = NAS Gateway, and Z = FC SAN
In the event of a disk failure, which RAID level enables quick data reconstruction?
A. RAID 3
B. RAID 5
C. RAID 6
D. RAID 10
What is an example of a Performance Management task?
A. Selecting an appropriate RAID type for a storage pool.
B. Removing unused resources from a service and reassigning them to another.
C. Scanning applications and databases to identify vulnerabilities.
D. Planning and architecting data backup and replication solutions.
What is an accurate statement about stretched VLANs?
A. Reduces network bandwidth requirements during VM migration across sites.
B. Requires a change in the VMs' IP addresses to match the addressing scheme at the other sites.
C. Enables automatic modification of VLAN addresses during VM migration across sites.
D. Supports migration of VMs across sites without the need to change their network configurations.
Why is it important for organization to deploy intelligent storage systems in their data centers?
A. Reduce the complexity of managing information by creating silos of storage
B. Effectively migrate data from a data center to the cloud at no cost
C. Reduce the amount of data to be replicated, migrated, and backed up
D. Effectively store and manage information across data centers
What accurately describes an object-based storage device (OSD)?
A. One object can be placed inside another object
B. Objects are created based on the name and location of the file
C. Objects exist at the same level in the address space
D. Numerous objects can be stored in a single namespace
