A company is consolidating two storage systems into a single Dell Unity system. They have a critical database that requires high IOPS and a file server that requires high capacity but low performance. They also want to minimize the risk of performance interference between the two workloads. Which approach should they take?

Use thin provisioning for the database and thick provisioning for the file server

Place both workloads in the same pool and rely on the system's automatic load balancing

Create separate storage pools for the database and file server, and configure QoS policies to limit the file server's performance

Enable data compression on the database and deduplication on the file server

A financial firm is using a Dell Unity system for their database workloads. They need to ensure that critical databases get priority access to storage performance during peak hours. Which Unity feature should they configure?

Quality of Service (QoS) policies

A small business is replacing two aging NAS appliances with a single Dell Unity system. They need to serve both NFS and SMB shares to different departments, and they want to minimize the number of separate systems to manage. Which Unity feature directly addresses this requirement?

Thin provisioning, which allocates storage on demand to reduce wasted capacity

Unified storage, providing both file (NAS) and block (SAN) protocols from the same system

Quality of Service (QoS) policies, which limit performance for specific workloads

Snapshots, which provide point-in-time copies for data protection
