A company is deploying a new PowerStore cluster. The security policy requires that all data be encrypted at rest, but the administrator is unsure whether encryption is enabled by default. What should the administrator do to ensure encryption is active?

Under Settings > Security > Encryption

Under Storage > Volumes > Encryption

Under Administration > Encryption

What is the role of an external key management server in PowerStore encryption?

It monitors network traffic to detect unauthorized access

It provides backup storage for encrypted volumes

It stores and manages the encryption keys used by PowerStore, providing centralized key control

It encrypts data before it is written to the drives

What is the primary purpose of data encryption in Dell PowerStore?

To protect data from unauthorized access when it is stored on drives and when it is transmitted over the network

To provide redundancy in case of drive failures by replicating data across multiple drives
