EMC DES-1D12 - Specialist - Technology Architect Midrange Storage Solutions Exam

Capacity forecasting requires the installation of a special license to display capacity forecasting metrics. If the license is not installed, then the forecasting metrics will not be displayed.

The assisted migration allows you to move data to a new storage pool with more capacity. This process can be done while the data is still online and accessible to hosts, and it allows you to add or replace drives, expand pools, and move data to a new array without any disruption.

(Input/Output Operations Per Second) is a key consideration when sizing a Dell EMC SC Series system for capacity. IOPS is a measure of the performance of a storage system, and a higher number of IOPS generally indicates better performance. Other factors to consider would be the number of disk drives, RAID configuration, and storage capacity required for the specific use case.

Synchronous replication will provide a zero RPO as all data is written to both the primary and secondary storage at the same time, which means any data written to the primary storage will be instantly available on the secondary storage. This configuration will ensure that the data is protected against system outage, and in case of any failure, the recovery time will be a maximum of 15 minutes as the data is already replicated to the secondary site.
