   A government agency is required to store surveillance video footage for a minimum of 7 years. The footage is written once and rarely read. The agency is considering PowerScale and needs to minimize storage cost while maintaining the ability to retrieve footage if required. Which PowerScale capability is most relevant to this use case?

   • AThe ability to create storage pools with high-capacity H-series nodes and use SmartPools to move data to a cold tier
   • BThe use of a single storage pool with all nodes to simplify management
   • CThe use of F-series nodes to provide the highest possible write performance for the incoming footage
   • DThe requirement to use a separate cluster for archival data to ensure performance isolation

   What is the primary purpose of a storage pool in a PowerScale cluster?

   • ATo replicate data between nodes for disaster recovery
   • BTo provide a separate file system namespace for each department
   • CTo group nodes with similar performance or capacity characteristics for data placement policies
   • DTo isolate management traffic from data traffic on the backend network

   A company is deploying a PowerScale cluster across two data centers for disaster recovery. They plan to use synchronous replication between the clusters. The network team is concerned about the latency of the link between the data centers. What is the most important consideration for this design?

   • AThe round-trip latency of the inter-data-center link must be low enough to meet the application's write latency requirements
   • BThe inter-data-center link must support jumbo frames to reduce overhead
   • CThe inter-data-center link must be dedicated and not shared with other traffic
   • DThe bandwidth of the inter-data-center link must be sufficient to handle the peak write throughput
