D-PST-DS-00: Dell PowerStore Design

By Dell · Question Mode

QuestionQ14

Solution Design

A customer intends to consolidate several application workloads onto PowerStore but has supplied only total capacity requirements.

To create a realistic configuration, additional workload characteristics must be collected.

Which set of additional information must be gathered?

Explanation

PowerStore sizing requires workload-level capacity and performance characteristics. Performance demand depends on the read/write ratio, sequential versus random I/O distribution, and average I/O block size, while both performance and capacity growth are necessary to size for projected demand. Dell’s storage-sizing guidance defines workload requirements as performance and capacity, includes I/O sizing inputs, and calls for planning future growth.
