A fast-growing SaaS company is deploying a PowerScale cluster. They expect their user base to double in the next 18 months, and their storage traffic is expected to grow proportionally. They are currently planning the network infrastructure. What is the most important consideration for the network design to accommodate this growth?

Use a single large VLAN for all traffic to simplify management as the network grows.

Configure the network with the minimum required bandwidth and plan to upgrade only when performance degrades.

Design the network with spare ports and capacity to add more links or nodes without a major redesign.

Purchase the largest possible switches and routers now to avoid any future upgrades.

Which design practice supports scalability in a PowerScale network?

Placing all traffic on a single VLAN

Designing with spare ports and the ability to add link aggregation groups

Using the minimum number of switches to reduce cost

When planning for future growth in a PowerScale network, what should be considered?

The number of VLANs currently in use

Potential increases in client count and data transfer rates

The physical location of the data center
