   A company is comparing two PowerEdge server models for a new deployment. Model A has four 1 GbE LOM ports. Model B has two 10 GbE LOM ports. The workload requires high bandwidth for a few large data transfers. Which model is more suitable?

   • AModel A, because 1 GbE ports are more reliable.
   • BModel A, because it has more ports.
   • CModel B, because it has fewer ports, which is always better.
   • DModel B, because 10 GbE ports provide higher bandwidth per port.

   A company is standardizing on PowerEdge R660 servers for a new VDI deployment. The VDI team needs 10 GbE connectivity for the virtual desktop traffic. The on-board LOM offers 1 GbE ports. The server has 4 PCIe slots, and the team plans to use 2 for GPU accelerators. The company has a strict policy to minimize power consumption. What is the best networking strategy?

   • AInstall two single-port 10 GbE add-in cards for redundancy.
   • BUse the on-board 1 GbE LOM ports and accept the lower performance for VDI.
   • CUse the on-board LOM ports and rely on the GPU's built-in networking.
   • DInstall a dual-port 10 GbE add-in card in one of the remaining PCIe slots.
