Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Data Lens can provide a centralized management solution for Files deployments in multiple sites, including different geographical locations. Data Lens can also automate archiving tier policies for compliance purposes, by allowing administrators to create policies based on file attributes, such as age, size, type, or owner, and move files to a lower-cost tier or delete them after a specified period. Data Lens can also protect the data against ransomware, by allowing administrators to block malicious file signatures from being written to the file system.

Okay, let me think this through. I think option D, creating a data protection policy in the Files view in Prism Central, might be the way to go. That way, I can set up comprehensive monitoring and alerts across the entire Files environment. I'll need to read up on the details, but I'm feeling confident about this approach.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'm considering option A, configuring Alerts & Events in the Files Console, but I'm not sure if that will catch everything I need. Maybe I should look into the other options as well to see which one provides the best overall monitoring solution.

Ah, this is a good one! I'm leaning towards option C - configuring Files to use ICAP servers with monitors for the desired activities. That way, I can get a more granular view of what's happening in the environment and set up specific alerts for the suspicious activities mentioned in the question.

Ah, I see what they're getting at. Reducing fragility means making the system more resilient, but that can mean short-term disruptions. Gotta weigh the long-term benefits against the short-term risks.
