Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, Unity — Question 12

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?

Answer options

• A. 21,000 IOPS
• B. 25,200 IOPS
• C. 27,300 IOPS
• D. 35,700 IOPS

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, 27,300 IOPS, which accounts for the read/write ratio and overhead typically associated with such workloads. Options A, B, and D do not consider the necessary adjustments for the read/write distribution and performance overhead, leading to incorrect target IOPS calculations.
