Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v4 — Question 42

What is an advantage of deploying a purpose-built, disk-based backup appliance in a data center environment?

Answer options

• A. Eliminate the need for performing source-based deduplication.
• B. Convert the capital expenditure to an operational expenditure.
• C. Lower the recovery time objective of an organization.
• D. Retain the fixed content for longer periods in the data center.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, is accurate because a purpose-built, disk-based backup appliance is designed to enhance recovery speed, thus lowering the recovery time objective. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not directly relate to the primary benefit of recovery time. Option D, while relevant to data retention, does not address recovery speed, which is critical in this context.
