QuestionQ19

Expansion

A Storage Architect is designing a Dell PowerStore solution for a virtualized environment with consistent capacity growth. The design must enable application volumes to expand easily without frequent reconfiguration.

Which approach would satisfy these requirements?

  • A Allocate additional free capacity within the system to accommodate future growth.
  • B Use snapshots to create additional space for expanding application data.
  • C Use thin provisioning to allow volumes to expand dynamically as needed.
  • D Preallocate full capacity for each volume during initial provisioning.
Explanation

Dell PowerStore thin provisioning reserves only an initial allocation and consumes physical capacity as data is written, enabling storage resources to use shared capacity efficiently as demand grows. This avoids full up-front allocation and supports capacity growth without frequent volume reconfiguration.
