A company is designing a PowerScale cluster for a high-performance computing (HPC) workload that requires very low latency and high IOPS. The workload is expected to grow, but the company wants to keep costs down. Which node type should they choose?

A mix of all-flash and archive nodes

When adding nodes to a PowerScale cluster, what is the expected impact on cluster capacity?

Capacity remains the same until a rebuild is complete

Capacity decreases due to overhead

Capacity increases by the amount of storage added

Capacity is only increased by adding drives to existing nodes

A company is deploying a PowerScale cluster and needs to separate client traffic from internal cluster communication. They also need to ensure that management traffic is isolated from both. Which network design should they implement?

Use separate VLANs for front-end, back-end, and management networks

Use the same VLAN for back-end and management traffic

Use the same VLAN for front-end and management traffic

Use a single network for all traffic

What is a key performance benefit of adding nodes to a PowerScale cluster?

Increased aggregate throughput and IOPS

Reduced latency for all existing workloads

Elimination of the need for data protection
