   A financial services firm is deploying Dell PowerFlex to meet a security mandate that requires all data at rest to be encrypted with centrally managed keys. The storage team has no existing key management infrastructure and wants to use CloudLink to satisfy this requirement. Which statement correctly describes the role CloudLink will play in this deployment?

   • ACloudLink replaces the need for any encryption on PowerFlex because it secures the management network.
   • BCloudLink is a proxy that encrypts all data before it is written to PowerFlex, so the storage array never handles plaintext.
   • CCloudLink is a hardware security module that must be installed inside the PowerFlex appliance to generate keys.
   • DCloudLink acts as a key management server that stores encryption keys and provides them to PowerFlex for encrypting data at rest.
