   A company is consolidating two existing storage arrays into a single PowerStore. The first array has a high IOPS workload with low capacity, and the second has a high capacity workload with low IOPS. The storage architect runs PowerSizer with the combined workload and receives a recommendation for a PowerStore 900T. However, the architect is concerned that the mixed workload may cause performance interference. What is the best practice to validate the recommendation?

   • AUse the highest IOPS and highest capacity from the two arrays as inputs.
   • BSelect a model with higher performance than recommended to avoid interference.
   • CAccept the recommendation because PowerSizer automatically handles mixed workloads.
   • DRun PowerSizer with separate workload profiles for each application group and review the combined output.
