Question 1Choose one

An architect is sizing a new PowerScale solution for a healthcare customer. The workload consists of a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). The customer has 4 PB of existing image data that is rarely accessed after 90 days, but they generate about 5 TB of new, highly active data daily that requires sub-millisecond latency for immediate physician review. Which node architecture best meets these requirements while optimizing for cost?

Question 2Choose one

A financial analytics firm is planning to migrate their high-frequency trading data analysis workload to Dell PowerScale. The workload profile shows a massive amount of small files (average size 4KB to 8KB) that are heavily metadata-driven. Which architectural consideration is most critical when sizing the PowerScale cluster for this specific workload?

Question 3Choose one

A media and entertainment company requires a storage solution for 8K video rendering. They need a system capable of extreme sequential throughput to feed their render farm. Which PowerScale node family is specifically engineered and best suited as the active tier for this unstructured data use case?

Question 4Choose one

True or False: When discovering customer requirements for a PowerScale deployment, a transactional SQL database requiring low-latency block-level storage (iSCSI/Fibre Channel) is considered a primary and highly recommended use case for OneFS.

Question 5Choose 2

You are leading a discovery workshop with an enterprise customer. They have an existing NAS environment with 200 distinct departments. The IT director states, 'We need to migrate to PowerScale, but we must ensure that no single department can consume more than their allocated 10 TB of storage, and we need daily reports on their usage.' Which two OneFS software features must be included in your solution design to meet these requirements? (Select TWO)

Question 6Choose one

A university research department needs a storage solution for genomic sequencing. The workflow involves instruments writing small sequence files continuously, followed by an immediate assembly phase requiring massive read throughput, and finally long-term retention of the assembled genomes for 10 years. Which combination of features and node types provides the most optimal end-to-end design?
