A customer has deployed a single chassis FlashBlade//S system with the maximum number of blades. Bays 1, 2, and 3 on all blades are populated with 24 TB DFMs. Additional workload requires the customer to deploy 220 TB of additional capacity, but costs are to be minimized. Which configuration fulfills these requirements?

A custоmer hаs deplоyed а single chаssis FlashBlade//S system with the maximum number оf blades. Bays 1, 2, and 3 on all blades are populated with 24 TB DFMs. Additional workload requires the customer to deploy 220 TB of additional capacity, but costs are to be minimized. Which configuration fulfills these requirements?
Scenаriо Overview:A custоmer is mоdernizing its distributed Enterprise Resource Plаnning (ERP) system environment thаt supports operations across multiple North American regions. The current storage landscape includes read-heavy workloads located at core sites and smaller workloads at regional offices. The company is moving to a subscription-based storage model to simplify infrastructure management and reduce upfront costs.The IT team has shared current performance and capacity requirements, and they expect the solution to handle read-intensive transactional loads. Site performance fluctuates with project lifecycles. No replication (ActiveDR, ActiveCluster, or async) will be implemented. Workloads will be hosted on multiple sites as identified in the scenario above. You have been asked to determine a Pure Storage FlashArray configuration that meets both performance and capacity needs while accounting for: 5% yearly growth for core sites and 3% yearly growth for regional offices Read-intensive workload profiles with 32KiB average IO size Workload-specific data reduction estimates using Sizer guidance Customer Requirements: Workload 1 (Site 1) – ERP:Dataset size: 85.49 TiBEstimated average read IOPS: 30,000Estimated read bandwidth: 937.5 MiB/sExpected DRR: 2.8Workload 2 (Site 2) – ERP:Dataset size: 97.32 TiBEstimated average read IOPS: 30,000Estimated read bandwidth: 937.5 MiB/sExpected DRR: 2.8Workload 3 (Site 3) – TestDev:Dataset size: 203.73 TiBEstimated average read IOPS: 2,000Estimated read bandwidth: 62.5 MiB/sExpected DRR: 1.2Workload 4 (Site 4) – QA:Dataset size: 215.55 TiBEstimated average read IOPS: 2,000Estimated read bandwidth: 62.5 MiB/sExpected DRR: 1.2Candidate Instructions:Using Sizer, identify the "Evergreen//One" section of the Results tab, taking note of the Minimum Quote Recommendation, sizing inputs, and SLA guarantee. Please answer the following questions for Site 1 (Workload 1).In the box below, paste in the Tier for Site 1 (Workload 1).Example answer format: //Unified Block & File - CapacityIn the box below, paste in the EUC Reserve(TiB) for Site 1 (Workload 1).

Scenаriо Overview:A heаlthcаre research оrganizatiоn 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 | 8x18.6TB Be sure to check your work before you submit.
