EMC Proven Professional – PowerMax Specialist — Question 122

Where do the D@RE encryption/decryption functions occur in the Unity storage system?

Answer options

• A. Host I/O Modules
• B. Storage Processor Cache
• C. SAS I/O Module
• D. Self-encrypting drives

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The D@RE encryption and decryption functions are specifically handled by the SAS I/O Module, which is responsible for managing data movement and security. The other options, such as Host I/O Modules and Storage Processor Cache, do not directly perform these encryption tasks, while Self-encrypting drives handle encryption at the drive level rather than within the Unity system architecture.
