An e-commerce company runs a transactional database on a Dell midrange array. They have a secondary site 50 km away. The business requires that in the event of a site failure, no committed transactions are lost. The network latency between sites is 2 ms. Which replication mode should you recommend?

Asynchronous replication, because it has no impact on application performance.

Asynchronous replication with a scheduled failover to minimize data loss.

Synchronous replication, because it ensures zero data loss by acknowledging writes only after they are replicated.

Synchronous replication with snapshots to reduce latency impact.

A company is planning to migrate a critical application from an old Dell array to a new one. They want to ensure they can roll back if issues arise after the migration. Which best practice should they follow?

Delete the source volume after migration to free up space.

Take a snapshot of the source before migration and keep it until the migration is validated.

Create a thin clone of the source for migration.

Use replication to the new array and then immediately decommission the old array.

A company is migrating a critical application to a new Dell array. They have a requirement to minimize data loss during the migration. They plan to use replication. Which approach should they take?

Use snapshots to capture the final state.

Use thin clones to migrate the data.

Use synchronous replication during the final cutover to ensure zero data loss.

Use asynchronous replication and accept the RPO.

A storage administrator is planning to enable data reduction on a Dell midrange array. According to Dell best practices, which type of data typically benefits the most from deduplication?

Virtual machine disk files with similar OS images

Randomly generated database transaction logs

A company has a Dell midrange array with a critical database that requires zero data loss. They also have a test environment that is a thin clone of the database. They want to replicate the database to a secondary site. Which best practice should they follow?

Replicate the thin clone instead of the production volume to save bandwidth.

Replicate only the production volume using synchronous replication.

Replicate the production volume and the thin clone to the secondary site.

Use asynchronous replication for the production volume to avoid performance impact.
