   A company is using PowerStore to support a mix of production and test/dev environments. The production environment requires high availability and zero data loss, while the test/dev environment is less critical and can tolerate some data loss. The company wants to use replication for both environments to a remote site. Which replication strategy should they use?

   • ASnapshots for production and asynchronous replication for test/dev
   • BMetro replication for both
   • CAsynchronous replication for both
   • DMetro replication for production and asynchronous replication for test/dev

   A company is deploying a new virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment for 1,000 users. The VDI administrator needs storage that can handle high random I/O and provide fast cloning of desktop images. Which PowerStore feature is most beneficial for this VDI deployment?

   • AMetro replication for DR
   • BThin clones and snapshots for rapid provisioning
   • CFile-level retention for compliance
   • DAsynchronous replication to a remote site

   A service provider wants to offer storage-as-a-service to multiple tenants. Each tenant needs isolated block storage volumes, and the provider wants to guarantee performance per tenant without over-provisioning physical capacity. The provider also wants to offer snapshots for data protection. Which PowerStore feature set is most appropriate for this multi-tenant service?

   • AMetro replication for continuous availability
   • BNative asynchronous replication to a remote site
   • CStorage resource provisioning with QoS policies and snapshot schedules
   • DFile systems with SMB shares and NFS exports

   A hospital is deploying a new electronic health record (EHR) system that requires low-latency block storage for its database. The hospital also needs to store medical images (PACS) on the same system, and these images are typically accessed via file protocols. The IT director wants to minimize the number of storage systems to manage. Which PowerStore deployment model best meets these needs?

   • AA single PowerStore cluster configured with both block and file services
   • BTwo separate PowerStore clusters, one for block and one for file
   • CA PowerStore cluster with only block services and use a separate NAS for PACS
   • DA PowerStore cluster with only file services and use a separate SAN for the database

   A company is deploying PowerStore to support a mix of block and file workloads. They have a critical database that requires synchronous replication to a remote site for DR, and they also have file shares that need to be replicated asynchronously to the same site. The company wants to minimize the number of replication sessions and management overhead. Which approach should they take?

   • AUse snapshots for the database and asynchronous replication for file shares
   • BUse asynchronous replication for both the database and file shares
   • CCreate separate replication sessions for the block volume and the file system, using synchronous for the database and asynchronous for the file shares
   • DUse synchronous replication for both the database and file shares
