QuestionQ18

Solution Design

A Storage Architect is designing a Dell PowerStore cluster for mixed workloads, including analytics, transactional databases, and file services. The design must sustain consistent performance and minimize resource contention.

Which approach would satisfy the customer's requirements?

  • A Isolate workloads using separate volumes.
  • B Balance workloads across nodes to optimize performance.
  • C Apply identical performance policies to all workloads.
  • D Centralize workloads on a single node.
Explanation

Balancing workloads across PowerStore nodes distributes I/O and system-resource demand, avoiding concentration of analytics, database, and file-service activity on one processing path. This supports more consistent performance and reduces contention among mixed workloads.
