A customer has a 7x52TB system and reports poor workload performance.
The customer provides the following information:
1. The customer has 4 host connecting using NFS.
2. The environment is running VMware with 300 VMs.
3. The FlashBlade is connected to the customer network using 4x40Gb/s links
What is causing this issue?
A customer has a FlashBlade and wants to use it to store data for an application that runs on Linux. The FlashBlade has four Data VIPs and is connected with four 40Gbe links connected to the Top-of-Rack switch in a virtual port-channel with trunking enabled. The Linux host has a single 40Gbe NIC and is configured with a single mount point located at /mnt/appdata. nconnect is not enabled.
What is the maximum throughput the customer should expect when reading data from the mount point?
A customer provides a diagram and reports no complaints about backup completion times. The customer is concerned about the complexity of the environment.
What is the illustrated pain point?
A customer needs to support 10 million files per folder for their AI environment.
What is their limiting factor on a traditional file system?
An NFS-only environment is designed from the environment diagram shown. During a Proof-of-Concept installation, the customer decides to add 2 clients writing 300MB/s and 1 client reading 1GBs. What does the architect need to do?
A customer has 7x52TB FlashBlade, which is ~70% full. One 52TB blade is added.
Which two results should the architect expect? (Select two.)
'The Network admins create a network setup:
What is the result if the FlashBlade is run in this configuration?
The customer provides the network diagram shown. The customer wants to use RBAC and SMB on the FlashBlade. The customer does NOT use encryption for identity-related traffic.
Which ports must be opened for this to work?
A company has a datacenter with a lot of electromagnetic interference. Their switches are 9m away from the FlashBlade and do NOT support speed faster than 10Gb/s.
Which cable should the architect use?
What is the total number of uplinks that can be utilized by the two XFMs, in any FlashBlade multi-chassis configuration?
A company has an existing database running a critical application. Users are complaining of slow response times. The company asks Pure Storage for help fixing this problem.
Which (three) questions should the architect ask to determine if FlashBlade is a good fit for the use case? (Choose three.)
The customer wants to build a software QA infrastructure using modern big data tools like Spark and Kafka. The goal is to process 50 billion events per day and provide feedback in real-time in less than 5 seconds.
The architect needs to create a FlashBlade configuration to meet the capacity and performance requirements using the following assumptions:
4 RSyslog servers accessing FlashBlade via NFS
6 servers accessing FlashBlade via S3
Capacity: 6TB + 18TB + 18TB
Each protocol will create a concurrent write and / or read throughput of 6GB/s
Which configuration should the architect use to meet these requirements?
What is the speed of the connections between individual blades and the midplane?
A customer application requires 4.2GB/s of sustained write performance. What is the minimum number of blades to meet the performance requirement?
For auditing and security purposes, a customer needs to lock down the ‘pureuser’. Each storage admin must log in with their own account.
Which command should the architect run first after all external preparations have been completed?
A customer has an application that needs to prioritize speed for untrusted applications to put large numbers of files on an NFS export. Which NFS Export options should be used?
A customer wants to use and orchestration tool to manage the FlashBlade.
How should the customer create the API key?
