D-PDD-DY-01: Dell PowerProtect Data Domain DeployDemo

QuestionQ3

Pre-Deployment Check

A customer uses a backup application to back up data to a Dell PowerProtect Data Domain appliance. In their environment, they require:

  • Dedicated SAN traffic
  • No backup traffic on the production IP network

Which connectivity option should the implementation engineer configure?

  • A Enable NFS
  • B DD Boost over FC
  • C Enable CIFS
  • D VTL over Ethernet
Explanation

DD Boost over Fibre Channel (FC) enables the backup application to send data to the Data Domain system over a dedicated Fibre Channel SAN, keeping backup traffic completely separate from the IP-based production network. NFS and CIFS require an Ethernet/IP connection, and VTL is typically implemented over Ethernet (iSCSI) in this context, so none of those options meet the requirement of isolating backup traffic from the production IP network via a dedicated SAN.
