   A solution architect is using the Midrange Sizer to design a Unity solution for a database workload. The tool has calculated a configuration with a specific number of drives and a Unity model. According to the sizing methodology, what should the architect do next to validate the recommendation?

   • AReview the output report to confirm that the configuration meets the performance and capacity requirements
   • BImmediately order the recommended configuration
   • CRe-run the sizing with the same inputs to see if the result changes
   • DAsk the customer to provide additional capacity requirements
