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?

A customer is used to planning where maintenance costs increase after a period of time. Which aspect of Evergreen//Forever most directly counters this legacy model tactic?

A customer has the following requirements: Prefers usage-based consumption to align with financial goals Requires agile response to workload growth Wants to reduce capital expenditure in Year 1 Hosts multiple sites with underutilized capacity  Which Evergreen model aligns with both financial and operational objectives?

When a DirectCompress Accelerator (DCA) card fails, what happens to incoming write I/Os to ensure space efficiency is preserved? (Select two.)

A systems engineer needs to provision new volumes for an upcoming project with specific IOPS requirements. How can they create these volumes to achieve more consistent performance?

Scenario: You’ve noticed a competitor’s Instagram campaign is generating significant buzz. Explain how you would analyze their campaign and what insights you could gain to improve your own social media strategy. Then, determine three content pillars that would resonate with your audience.
