Which statement correctly contrasts eNAS and SDNAS in terms of deployment?

Both eNAS and SDNAS are embedded in the array

Both eNAS and SDNAS are deployed on external servers

eNAS is deployed on external servers, while SDNAS is embedded in the array

eNAS is embedded in the array, while SDNAS is deployed on external servers

A service provider is planning to offer file services to multiple tenants from a single PowerMax array. They expect variable workloads and want to scale the NAS compute independently from the array's storage capacity. They also want to use commodity hardware for the NAS layer. Which architecture should they choose?

SDNAS deployed on virtual machines

A dedicated physical NAS appliance from another vendor

PowerMax block storage with iSCSI exports

How does SDNAS typically provide greater scalability compared to eNAS?

By allowing the NAS software to run on additional external servers independently of the array

By using the array's storage processors more efficiently

By requiring fewer licenses for file protocols

By eliminating the need for block storage

What is the primary role of embedded NAS (eNAS) in a Dell PowerMax array?

To provide file services directly from the PowerMax array using integrated NAS software

To manage block storage only, with no file protocol support

To act as a separate physical NAS appliance that connects to the PowerMax via Fibre Channel

To provide cloud-based file storage that is accessed via the PowerMax management interface

A government agency is deploying PowerMax File with strict security requirements. They need to ensure that the NAS layer is isolated from other workloads and that it can be patched independently. They also have a requirement to scale the NAS compute without upgrading the storage array. Which architecture should they choose?

SDNAS on the same servers as other applications
