   Which statement best describes how RAIN (Redundant Array of Independent Nodes) provides fault tolerance in an Avamar Data Store?

   • AEach node stores a full copy of all data, so any node can serve any request.
   • BData is striped across nodes with parity information distributed so that the system can reconstruct data if a node fails.
   • CData is replicated to a remote site in real time to protect against node failure.
   • DNodes are paired in a primary/standby configuration; the standby node takes over if the primary fails.

   During a backup operation, how does the Avamar server interact with the ADS storage nodes?

   • AThe Avamar server instructs a client to directly write data to the storage nodes without server involvement.
   • BThe Avamar server sends the backup data to a single storage node, which then replicates it to other nodes.
   • CThe Avamar server stores the backup data locally and only uses storage nodes for replication to a remote site.
   • DThe Avamar server coordinates the backup by sending data to multiple storage nodes in parallel, and the nodes store the data with deduplication and RAIN protection.

   An administrator needs to expand the capacity of an existing Avamar Data Store. Which approach is the standard method for scaling out an ADS?

   • AAttach external SAN storage to the existing nodes.
   • BAdd additional storage nodes to the existing ADS grid.
   • CReplace existing nodes with larger-capacity nodes in a rolling upgrade.
   • DIncrease the number of Avamar servers to manage more storage nodes.
