Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, Unity XT — Question 7

You are sizing a new Dell EMC SC Series array. Upon analyzing the Live Optics report, you find the current system has a peak throughput of 4687 MB.
What is the minimum number of 10Gb iSCSI front-end ports required to meet the throughput needs?

Answer options

• A. 8
• B. 10
• C. 12
• D. 16

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B. Each 10Gb iSCSI front-end port can handle approximately 1,250 MB of throughput, so to meet the peak requirement of 4687 MB, at least 10 ports would be necessary. Options A, C, and D do not provide enough bandwidth to meet the throughput needs of the system.
