Dell EMC Expert – Cloud Architect — Question 4

You are assisting a company in planning for a Dell EMC Isilon disaster recovery site. One of the company’s concerts is the time that is needed for the initial synchronization between the primary and disaster recovery sites.
What will help address this concern?

Answer options

• A. After creating the policies, use the “assess sync” functionality
• B. Use a third-party tool to estimate the time based on the data and the bandwidth available
• C. Time cannot be estimated due to many factors such as the cluster workload
• D. After creating the policies, start the job and observe how much time it takes

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because starting the job allows you to measure the actual time taken for synchronization, providing a practical insight into the process. Option A suggests using 'assess sync,' but it does not provide direct timing information. Option B relies on estimations that may not reflect real-world conditions, and option C incorrectly states that time cannot be estimated when actual testing can yield valuable data.
