What is the primary purpose of erasure coding in Dell ECS?

To compress data to save space.

To provide data protection with lower storage overhead compared to replication.

To replicate data across geographically distant sites.

An ECS architect is designing a cluster with mixed node types: some nodes have high-capacity HDDs and others have high-performance SSDs. They want to ensure that performance-sensitive workloads are placed on the SSD nodes while capacity-heavy workloads use the HDD nodes. What is the best approach in ECS hardware architecture?

Use replication to ensure data is on both HDD and SSD nodes.

Configure all nodes with the same disk type to simplify management.

Use a single storage pool that includes all nodes and rely on automatic tiering.

Create separate storage pools for each node type and assign workloads to the appropriate pool.

What is the purpose of encryption in Dell ECS security architecture?

To monitor and log access to data.

To control what actions a user can perform.

To verify the identity of users.

To protect data from unauthorized access by making it unreadable without a key.

In Dell ECS, what is the role of a storage pool?

It is a software component that handles S3 API requests.

It is a logical grouping of storage capacity used to apply data protection policies and manage capacity.

It is a physical disk drive that stores object metadata.

It is a network path that connects clients to the ECS cluster.

What operating system is the foundation of Dell ECS software architecture?

A customized Linux distribution
