Salesforce Certified Data Architect — Question 21

Universal Containers (UC) stores 10 million rows of inventory data in a cloud database. As part of creating a connected experience in Salesforce, UC would like to expose this inventory data to Sales Cloud without a direct import. UC has asked its data architect to determine if Salesforce Connect is needed.
Which three considerations should the data architect make when evaluating the need for Salesforce Connect? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. You want real-time access to the latest data from other systems.
• B. You need small amounts of external data at any one time.
• C. You need to expose data via a virtual private connection.
• D. You have a large amount of data and would like to copy subsets of it into Salesforce.
• E. You have a large amount of data that you don't want to copy into your Salesforce org.

Correct answer: A, B, E

Explanation

Option A is correct because Salesforce Connect is ideal for accessing real-time data from external systems. Option B is also correct as it aligns with using Salesforce Connect for small data needs. Option E is correct because Salesforce Connect allows large amounts of data to be utilized without the need for copying it into Salesforce. Options C and D are not relevant as they do not pertain to the main purpose of using Salesforce Connect in this scenario.
