A customer currently owns a FlashArray//XL running a file-based workload. Due to new regulations, the customer is looking to improve the application RTO/RPO by replicating to a second data center that is 10 km away and has a latency of 5 ms RTT. The priority for the customer is to design a solution with the best possible RTO/RPO while minimizing cost.  Which solution should the SE propose to meet the requirements?

An existing customer needs to expand capacity and performance. The SE must provide a baseline Evergreen//One configuration with service tier alignment using common workload assumptions.   Which tool is best suited for this situation?

Which Evergreen offering provides a 99.9999% uptime SLA and integrated ransomware recovery?

”   During discovery, a customer shares that they track depreciation over a seven-year asset lifecycle and have security protocols that require them to physically own infrastructure. However, their CIO wants adopt a consumption-based model. Which subscription model allows Pure Storage to meet the CIO’s goals while meeting asset ownership requirements? ”

A multinational engineering firm using Evergreen//One for ML R&D workloads narrowly avoids a ransomware event. Key risk indicators that contributed to the customer’s vulnerability include: Attacker access to the management layer despite SafeMode Lack of air-gapped or offline restore paths High-availability systems with complex integration Limited internal resources to manage recovery Which action best addresses the company’s cyber resilience gaps while minimizing internal operational impact?

An existing customer recently converted their Pure Storage array fleet from Evergreen//Forever to Evergreen//One.   Which two factors would have influenced the customer’s decision to convert? (Select two.)

How does DirectFlash’s approach to garbage collection ensure minimal latency and disruption, setting it apart from conventional SSD storage solutions?

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.

A customer is experiencing high System Space usage at all times on their FlashArray X70R3. All datapacks are DFMs. They want to perform a non-disruptive hardware upgrade to faster controllers on the FlashArray. Which two FlashArray models can the SE recommend? (Select two.)

An educational institution has implemented SafeMode on their FlashArray to protect research data. Their policy mandates offline storage of systems compromised by malware, eliminating them from recovery use. What additional step is needed for enhanced malware protection and quick data access without using compromised systems?
