Scenario Overview:A healthcare research organization is migrating three key workloads from aging storage platforms as part of a broader infrastructure modernization effort. These workloads include an Oracle database, a SQL Server database, and a virtualized server environment currently hosted on different legacy platforms.The IT team has provided initial estimates of workload sizes and current performance expectations, but they are relying on you to project long-term growth, snapshot needs, and data reduction potential. The organization does not plan to implement replication or high availability across arrays at this time. The customer has not provided all desired metrics such as data reduction expectations. Make a reasonable assumption based on sizing tool guidance. No asynchronous replication or ActiveCluster will be implemented initially. You have been asked to determine a Pure FlashArray configuration that meets both performance and capacity needs while accounting for: Estimating a 5% annual growth rate14-day retention period for snapshots5-year storage growth Workload-specific data reduction estimates based on typical use casesLatency of 1ms or less Your job is to use Pure Storage’s FlashArray Sizer to recommend the most appropriate configuration for this as an Evergreen//Flex deployment.Customer Requirements:Workload 1 – Database (Oracle): Dataset size: 100 TiB Estimated average read IOPS: 15,000 Estimated read bandwidth: 468.75 MiB/s Workload 2 – Virtual Servers (Legacy Platform): Dataset size: 118 TiB Estimated average read IOPS: 20,000 Estimated read bandwidth: 625 MiB/s Workload 3 – Database (SQL Server): Dataset size: 370 TiB Estimated average read IOPS: 15,000 Estimated read bandwidth: 468.75 MiB/s Candidate Instructions:Using Sizer, set to DRR to RSG. Then, identify the “Recommended CapEx Array” configuration, making sure that it meets required customer needs, including required effective capacity and expected IOPS, etc.In the box below, paste in “Recommended CapEx Array” configuration that is highlighted as “Best Fit” in FlashArray Sizer.Example answer format: C20 | 148TB | 8×18.6TB Be sure to check your work before you submit.
