An HPC environment has the following:

- 100 physical hosts, each with a single 10GbE NIC, and a single NFS mount point to the FlashBlade.

- A 7x52TB FlashBlade, connected to the Top-of-Rack switches via eight 40GbE connections.

What is the maximum aggregate write throughput the customer should expect from the FlashBlade?

Alright, which one of you nerds can tell me the difference between a 10GbE NIC and a 40GbE connection? And more importantly, which one can I use to download movies faster? Asking for a friend, of course.

C: Yeah, the 40GbE connection is much faster than the 10GbE NIC. Your friend will thank you for choosing that for movie downloads.

B: So, the 40GbE connection is faster than the 10GbE NIC. You should go for that if you want to download movies quickly.

A: 10GbE NIC is for connecting individual hosts, while 40GbE connection is for connecting switches. You'd want a 40GbE connection for faster downloads.

Alright, let's think this through. 100 hosts, each with a 10GbE NIC, that's a total of 1000Gb/s. The FlashBlade has 8 x 40GbE connections, which is 320Gb/s. I'd say D is the winner here, 2.1GB/s sounds about right considering the bottlenecks.

Haha, I bet the person who wrote this question was just trying to trick us! I mean, 2.1GB/s? That's barely faster than a regular hard drive. I'm gonna go with C, 4GB/s seems more realistic for a fancy FlashBlade setup like this.

Ooh, tricky one! I'm tempted to go with B, since 4.2GB/s sounds like a nice round number. But wait, didn't they say the FlashBlade has 8 x 40GbE connections? That's gotta be more than 4.2GB/s. Hmm, maybe D is the way to go...

I'm not sure, but based on the information given, D) Approximately 2.1 GB/s seems like the most logical choice.

I agree with Julianna, because the FlashBlade has eight 40GbE connections which can provide a maximum aggregate write throughput of 2.1 GB/s.

I'm not sure, but I think the answer might be A) Approximately 7 GB/s because of the 7x52TB FlashBlade capacity.

Hmm, I think the answer is D. The FlashBlade has a total of 8 x 40GbE connections, which equates to 320Gb/s of aggregate bandwidth. Divided by 8 (since it's shared across the 100 hosts), that's about 40Gb/s or 4.2GB/s. Seems like the correct answer to me.
