   A hospital is deploying a PowerScale cluster for its electronic health record (EHR) system and a separate research analytics workload. The EHR system is latency-sensitive and must be prioritized, while the analytics workload is a batch process that can tolerate delays. The network team needs to ensure the EHR system's performance is not degraded by the analytics workload. What should the Dell PowerScale designer recommend?

   • AUse separate network links for the EHR and analytics workloads, but do not configure any QoS.
   • BPlace the EHR and analytics workloads on the same VLAN and rely on the application to manage its own priority.
   • CIncrease the MTU on the network to reduce latency for all traffic.
   • DImplement QoS policies on the front-end network to prioritize EHR traffic over analytics traffic.
