   A company is planning a Metro Node deployment with two sites. The application requires a distributed device, but the storage team has discovered that the two sites have different back-end array models from different vendors. What is the best course of action?

   • AUse a local device instead of a distributed device
   • BReplace one of the arrays so both sites use the same vendor
   • CDeploy the distributed device only at one site
   • DProceed with the deployment, ensuring both local devices are the same size and type

   A logistics company runs a tracking application that must be available 24/7. The application is deployed on hosts at two sites connected by Metro Node. The company wants to ensure that if one site's hosts fail, the application can continue running from the other site without any manual intervention. What is the most important requirement for this to work?

   • AThe two sites must be in the same building
   • BThe distributed device must be configured with snapshots
   • CThe distributed device must be in read-only mode
   • DThe application must be configured to fail over between hosts at the two sites

   What is the role of a 'distributed system' in the configuration of distributed devices in Dell Metro Node?

   • AIt defines the set of Metro Node clusters that can participate in distributed device operations
   • BIt manages the physical storage arrays connected to the Metro Node
   • CIt is a software license that enables distributed device features

   A company is evaluating whether to use a distributed device or a local device with replication for a new application. The application requires active-active access from two sites, but the budget is limited. The storage team has determined that the application can tolerate up to 50 ms of additional write latency. What is the most important factor in deciding whether a distributed device is appropriate?

   • AWhether the application requires synchronous or asynchronous replication
   • BWhether the budget can cover the cost of the distributed device license
   • CWhether the two sites use the same storage array vendor
   • DWhether the round-trip latency between the two sites is within the application's 50 ms tolerance
