Sizing variables: Estimating a 5% annual growth rate14-day retention period for snapshotsDaily snapshot change rate of 1%5-year storage growthYour job is to use Pure Storage's Sizer to recommend the most appropriate traditional purchase configuration.Customer Requirements:Workload – Archive store (NFS): Dataset size: 5304 TiBNon-Compressible dataEstimated average read IOPS: 1,000Estimated read bandwidth: 0.1 GiB/s Estimated average write Bandwidth:2 GiB/s Estimated write IO Size: 64 KiB Candidate Instructions:Use Sizer. Then, identify a configuration making sure that it meets required customer needs, including required effective capacity and expected IOPS, etc. The solution should be the most inexpensive entry point for this workload while staying under 100% Capacity Fullness.In the box below, paste in "Recommended CapEx Array" configuration that is highlighted as "Best Fit" in FlashArray Sizer.Example answer format: S500R2 | 525TB | 37DFMC | 1C | 7B2D-37.5TB Be sure to check your work before you submit.
