Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, Unity XT — Question 36

A customer asks you about the maximum load of their new Dell EMC SC Series array. Which term should you use in response?

Answer options

• A. MB
• B. IOPS
• C. CPU Cycles
• D. Latency

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct term is IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second), which measures the performance of storage devices in terms of the number of read and write operations they can perform in a second. The other options, such as MB, refer to data size, while CPU Cycles and Latency pertain to processing speed and response time, respectively, which do not directly measure the load capacity of the storage array.
