A customer needs to protect against ransomware attacks. They want to ensure that backups are immutable and cannot be modified or deleted by an attacker. Which PowerScale feature should be used?

SmartLock compliance mode on the backup directory

SyncIQ replication to a remote cluster

Snapshots with a long retention period

A financial services customer runs a PowerScale cluster in their primary data center. They require a recovery point objective (RPO) of no more than 15 minutes and a recovery time objective (RTO) of under 2 hours for their critical file shares. The secondary site is 50 miles away and has a PowerScale cluster already. Which PowerScale feature should the design use to meet these requirements?

Snapshots taken every 15 minutes on the primary cluster

Manual copy of critical directories to the secondary cluster every hour

SyncIQ with a sync policy configured for continuous replication

What is the primary purpose of configuring a PowerScale cluster with a protection level such as N+2?

To allow the cluster to continue operating if two nodes fail simultaneously

To reduce the storage capacity required for the data

To improve read performance for small files

To enable replication to a remote site

During the discovery phase for a PowerScale design, a customer states that a critical application can tolerate up to 15 minutes of data loss and must be available again within 4 hours after a site failure. Which two metrics have been provided?

RPO of 4 hours and RTO of 15 minutes

RPO of 15 minutes and RTO of 4 hours

RTO of 15 minutes and RPO of 4 hours

A customer needs to protect against accidental deletion of files by users. They want to be able to restore a file from any point in the last 7 days. Which PowerScale feature should be used?

NDMP backup to tape every night with a 7-day retention

Snapshots taken every hour with a retention of 7 days

SmartQuotas with a recycle bin enabled

SyncIQ replication to a remote cluster with a 7-day retention
