   A company is deploying an MX7000 chassis for a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment. The VDI workloads are not storage-intensive but require predictable performance. The company wants to minimize the number of storage devices to manage. Which internal storage option is most suitable?

   • AUse compute sleds with local HDDs
   • BUse only compute sleds with no additional storage
   • CInstall MX5016s sleds with SSDs
   • DConnect an external NAS via Fabric C

   Which workload scenario is most appropriate for using internal storage (MX5016s) in an MX7000 chassis?

   • AA high-performance computing workload that needs low-latency, local data access
   • BA storage pool that must scale beyond the chassis capacity
   • CA virtualized environment requiring live migration of VMs between hosts
   • DA database that requires shared access from multiple compute sleds

   A healthcare organization is deploying an MX7000 chassis for an electronic health records (EHR) system. The system requires high availability and data redundancy. The organization already has a Fibre Channel SAN that is used for other critical applications. The IT team is concerned about the management overhead of adding another storage system. Which storage approach should be taken?

   • AUse internal MX5016s sleds with RAID 10
   • BUse compute sleds with local drives and replication
   • CUse a combination of internal and external storage
   • DConnect the existing Fibre Channel SAN via Fabric C with redundant IOMs

   What is the role of I/O modules (IOMs) in Fabric C when connecting to external storage?

   • AThey provide the physical and logical connectivity between compute sleds and external storage arrays
   • BThey provide compute resources for storage processing
   • CThey store data locally within the chassis
   • DThey translate storage protocols between the chassis and external arrays

   A financial institution is deploying an MX7000 chassis for a new trading application that requires extremely low latency and high availability. The institution already has a high-end external storage array that is used by other critical systems. The storage team wants to leverage this existing investment. Which storage approach should be taken?

   • AUse a combination of internal and external storage
   • BConnect the existing external storage array via Fabric C with redundant IOMs
   • CUse compute sleds with local NVMe drives
   • DUse internal MX5016s sleds with NVMe drives
