Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, Unity — Question 3

Using customer-supplied information, you have designed a solution using a Dell EMC Unity 400F with 250 drives. The customer now wants to increase the drive count to 340 drives at the lowest cost.
Which Unity model configuration should be recommended?

Answer options

• A. Keep the Unity 400F and add two 80-drive DAEs
• B. Keep the Unity 400F and add four 25-drive DAEs
• C. Upgrade to a Unity 500F and add two 80-drive DAEs
• D. Upgrade to a Unity 500F and add two 25-drive DAEs

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because adding two 80-drive DAEs to the existing Unity 400F is the most economical way to reach the desired drive count of 340. Options B, C, and D either do not provide enough drives or involve upgrading to a more expensive model that is unnecessary for the customer's requirement.
