A storage administrator is planning a SAN for a Dell storage array that will be replicated to a secondary site. The primary site uses Fibre Channel, but the secondary site only has Ethernet. The team must ensure replication traffic can flow between sites without purchasing new switches. Which approach is most appropriate?

Use a dark fiber connection between the sites.

Deploy a new Fibre Channel switch at the secondary site.

Use FCIP to tunnel Fibre Channel over the Ethernet WAN.

Use iSCSI for replication instead of Fibre Channel.

A storage administrator is planning the integration of a Dell storage array into an existing network. The array supports Fibre Channel and iSCSI, but the existing network is Ethernet-only. The team wants to avoid adding new infrastructure. Which protocol should they plan to use?

InfiniBand for higher performance

Fibre Channel over the existing Ethernet network

iSCSI over the existing Ethernet network

A company is planning a Dell networking solution for a new office. The team must ensure that the network can support future growth without major redesign. Which planning approach is most appropriate?

Design the network with scalability in mind, such as modular switches and spare capacity.

Defer planning until the network is fully utilized.

Purchase the minimum equipment needed for current requirements.

Use only fixed-configuration switches to reduce cost.

A network architect is planning the physical layout of a new data center. The design must support both high-density compute and storage, but the cooling system is designed for a maximum of 10 kW per rack. The planned equipment will draw 12 kW per rack. Which planning action is most appropriate?

Use higher-efficiency power supplies to reduce heat output.

Proceed with the original design and monitor temperatures.

Install additional cooling units in the data center.

Redistribute equipment across more racks to stay within the cooling limit.
