Which Pure Storage solution would be the most
appropriate choice?
1. FlashArray//XL
2. FlashArray//C
3. FlashArray//E - Answer-FlashArray//XL is the optimal
choice because it delivers unparalleled performance and
capacity for enterprise-scale applications.
In contrast, FlashArray//C focuses on capacity over
performance and FlashArray//E targets entry-level needs,
making them less suitable for demanding real-time
analytics environments.

A customer in the healthcare industry is establishing a
greenfield site for a new hospital with the following
requirements:
\ - They plan to implement a storage solution that can
handle large volumes of medical records and imaging
data.
- They require approximately 200 Gbps of consistent raw
network throughput between the FlashArray and the
dedicated switches.
- The dedicated switches support up to 100 Gbps
connectivity.
- The array is using 100 Gbps Ethernet ports.
What is the minimum number of Ethernet ports in total
they should connect from the FlashArray to the SAN
switches while still ensuring resiliency of a single failure?
1. 1 port per controller
2. 2 ports per controller
3. 3 ports per controller
4. 4 ports per controller - Answer-To meet the 200 Gbps
throughput requirement with each switch port supporting
, 3|Page
up to 100 Gbps, the customer should use 2 ports per
controller on the FlashArray. Because both controllers can
service I/O from the network, this ensures they can
achieve the necessary network throughput and maintain
resiliency, as multiple ports provide backup in case of
individual port failure. You could have a single switch,
controller, or port fail and still achieve 200 Gbps
throughput
A customer is planning a storage refresh and has outlined
the following requirements:
- Data Profile: 140 TB of data, split between SQL
databases (OLTP workload) and user file shares.
- Growth Rate: 9% annual capacity growth.
- Performance Demand: 60/40 read-write mix, 90,000
IOPS, with an average IO size of 24 KB.
Which Pure Storage product would best meet the
customer's requirements?
1. FlashArray//X
2. FlashArray//C
