Dell EMC D-XTR-DS-A-24 Exam - Topic 1 Question 37 Discussion

To accommodate a workload that generates 500,000 IOPS with a maximum bandwidth of 14 GB/s, the recommended XtremIO X2 solution would be 4 X-Bricks. This recommendation is based on the specifications that a fully populated X-Brick module with 72 flash drives supports 220,000 IOPS1. Therefore, to support 500,000 IOPS, more than two X-Bricks are required. Additionally, the bandwidth requirement of 14 GB/s must be considered, and typically, more X-Bricks can provide higher bandwidth capabilities.
