Correct Answer: B

XtremIO's snapshot technology is implemented by leveraging the content-aware capabilities of the system (Inline Data Reduction), optimized for SSD media, with a unique metadata tree structure.

XtremIO leverages a proprietary flash-optimized data protection algorithm (XtremIO Data Protection or XDP), which provides performance that is superior to any existing RAID algorithm.

Question #2

A storage administrator wants to re-use some of their XtremIO thin provisioned disks attached to a Microsoft Windows 2012 host. However, the administrator notices that ''Quick Format'' of the drives is taking a long time to complete. This has an impact on the overall performance.

Correct Answer: D

Question #4

When creating XtremIO volumes for a host, which operating systems will benefit by changing the default logical block size for applications consisting of 4 KB I/Os?

Reveal Solution Hide Solution
Correct Answer: B

With VMware ESX 5.5, the VMware hypervisor cannot work with LUNs that use a logical block size of 4K. When using VMware, be sure to specify Normal (512 LBs) from your XtremIO array.
