A university has a PowerScale cluster with two departments: research and administration. Each department needs its own access point to the cluster, with separate IP address ranges. They also want to apply different load balancing policies for each department. What should the administrator do?

Create two SmartConnect zones, each with its own IP address pool and load balancing method.

Assign static IPs to each department and use them as access points.

Use the default group for both departments and configure different load balancing methods.

Create one SmartConnect zone with two IP address pools.

How does a SmartConnect zone provide a single access point for clients?

By assigning the same IP address to all nodes in the cluster.

By requiring clients to connect to a specific node's management IP.

By using a virtual IP that floats between nodes automatically.

By mapping a single DNS name to a group of IP addresses that SmartConnect manages.

Which two client-facing benefits does SmartConnect provide on a PowerScale cluster?

Virus scanning and malware protection

Data deduplication and compression

Snapshot creation and replication

Load balancing and automatic failover
