QuestionQ11

Solution Design

An organization is designing a new NAS environment with Dell PowerStore to support a range of workloads. The planned use cases include:

  • A shared storage area for employees’ personal files
  • Departmental collaboration folders
  • Application-generated log data
  • High-performance transactional systems that require low-latency access

Which workload is most appropriate to place on the NFS/SMB file-based storage tier?

  • A Mission-critical OLTP databases and other high-intensity transactional workloads
  • B User home directories and shared departmental or team file repositories
  • C Log-structured merge (LSM)–based databases and large-scale analytical data pipelines
  • D Real-time trading platforms and other ultra-low latency operational systems
Explanation

Dell PowerStore NAS servers provide file-system access through SMB shares and NFS exports, making them appropriate for user home directories and shared departmental or team repositories. These workloads need shared, permission-controlled file access rather than the low-latency transactional I/O characteristics associated with mission-critical databases and ultra-low-latency operational systems.
