What is a benefit of using single-tier Flash with Dell EMC SC Series?

A customer is considering a Dell EMC SC Series storage solution for their business. Which tool can be used to help determine the IOPS target for the solution?

A customer wants to replace a PowerVault MD that has SAS-connected rack-mount 13G PowerEdge servers. The servers need to remain unmodified. Which Dell
EMC SC Series solution is recommended?

A customer wants to add self-encrypting SSDs to a Dell EMC SC8000 system running SCOS version 6.5. They have deployed a SafeNet Key Management server in the network. Does the customer need to do anything else?

What is a benefit of cross-platform replication between Dell EMC SC Series and PS Series?

A DPACK report shows that a customer needs a design to handle 21,000 IOPS from all servers with a read/write percentage of 70/30. What will be the target back-end IOPS for a Dell EMC SC Series array design?

A customer plans to purchase a Dell EMC Unity storage system for their file storage needs. The solution must provide a way to limit the storage capacity offered to the users. Which Unity feature will provide this functionality?

A customer is using High Consistency mode for replication with a Dell EMC SC9000. What will happen if the remote DR volume is unavailable?

A customer has an OLTP application running on a host accessing Dell EMC Unity Block storage. The application performance is experiencing CPU bottlenecks caused by iSCSI workloads. As a result, you are recommending the addition of an expansion module with an iSCSI Offload engine to the Unity system.
Which Unity expansion module is recommended?
