   A company has a mixed workload on ECS: some data is accessed frequently, and some is rarely accessed. They want to use Dell Cloud Tier to reduce costs but are concerned about the performance of frequently accessed data. What is the best approach to balance cost and performance?

   • AUse a single storage pool and rely on the cloud tier's caching mechanism.
   • BCreate separate storage pools for frequently and rarely accessed data, and apply a lifecycle policy only to the rarely accessed pool.
   • CApply a lifecycle policy to all data with a short age threshold to maximize cost savings.
   • DTier all data to the cloud and use a CDN to cache frequently accessed data.

   • BCreate a separate Dell Cloud Tier connection for each storage pool.
   • CConfigure the Dell Cloud Tier connection globally and then enable the lifecycle policy only on the designated storage pool.

   An administrator is monitoring the ECS and Dell Cloud Tier integration and notices that the 'Cloud Tier Data Transferred' metric has been zero for the past week, even though there are objects that should have been tiered. The lifecycle policy is correctly configured, and the cloud tier connection status shows 'Connected'. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

   • AThe monitoring dashboard is not refreshing correctly.
