12. During a controller upgrade of a Pure Storage FlashArray, what aspect of array design ensures there will be no tangible impact on performance?

13. A Storage Administrator has two //X50R3 FlashArrays. The two FlashArrays are located in different data centers with a network link between them. The ethernet link between data centers has a latency of 35 ms.

Which Purity feature will provide protection against a site failure with the lowest recovery point?

A. ActiveCluster

B. ActiveDR

C. Snapshot replication

D. Local snapshots

14. A customer is in the very early stages of designing a storage solution at a greenfield site.

• 100 Gbps of consistent raw network throughput between the FlashArray and the dedicated SAN switches.

• The dedicated SAN switches support up to 25 Gbps connectivity.

What is the minimum number of Ethernet ports in total they should connect from the FlashArray to the SAN switches while still ensuring resiliency?

Which replication method should be recommended?

A. CloudSnap to an offload target

B. Fan-out asynchronous snapshot replication

C. ActiveDR with periodic snapshot replication

D. ActiveCluster with asychronous snapshot replication

16. A System Administrator has a FlashArray//X70R3. They need to add a backup element as part of their data protection strategy.

They have the following requirements:

• The solution should be offsite

• Cost needs to be kept as low as possible
