The customer has asked for your recommendation on the bandwidth required for replication of 10 TB of daily backup data that is currently going to tape nightly. Bandwidth is provided by two OC-3 circuits between the source and target data center locations.

    Which information is needed to architect a solution for the customer?

    A. Available bandwidth, latency, and throughput objective
    B. Total bandwidth, trace route, and hops
    C. Circuit distance, line condition, and transmission rate
    D. Total bandwidth, latency, and compression rate

  • Question 36:

    The EMC account team has been asked to design a new EMC NetWorker backup solution for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. The customer's environment consists of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 hosted on an EMC CLARiiON disk array with EMC VSS Provider and an EMC Disk Library.

    Keep their current Data Domain system as part of any new configuration. Optimize network performance without adding more hardware infrastructure. Manage the entire solution from a single unified interface.

    Which solution addresses these requirements?

    A. NetWorker with Data Domain Boost only
    B. NetWorker with Data Domain Boost and storage nodes at the remote sites
    C. Avamar with an integrated Data Domain system
    D. NetWorker with Data Domain VTL and an integrated Avamar system
