Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, PowerEdge Server — Question 42

A systems administrator wants to move an application to VMAX3 storage. The application being migrated has no performance information available, including response time and average I/O size.

Based on Dell Technologies’ recommendations, which service level should be assigned?

Answer options

• A. Gold
• B. Optimized
• C. Bronze
• D. Diamond

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Optimized, as it is typically recommended for applications with unknown performance characteristics to ensure balanced performance without over-provisioning. Options A (Gold) and D (Diamond) are higher service levels that require more performance guarantees, which are not suitable without performance data. Option C (Bronze) is a lower service level that would not meet the needs of an application that may require more resources.
