What are two benefits of the Evergreen subscription for FlashBlade customers? (Choose two.)

A customer plans to use an S500 system to store their EDA workloads. Workload One is 150 TB expecting 1.5:1 compression with 12% annual growth. Workload Two is 173 TB expecting 2.2:1 compression with 33% annual growth. They want the system to have sufficient capacity for the next 3 years. Based on the achieved performance in a POC, they want a configuration with only one 24 TB DFM in each blade. How many rack units (RU) are required to support this solution?

A customer is discussing the challenges they have with their data lake. Their data is being copied to multiple systems to provide the best performance, but their datasets are growing too large to continue with this structure. This also delays the teams working on the datasets because they have to wait for the data to finish copying to secondary systems before they can access it. Which two characteristics of FlashBlade//S should be focused on when discussing the solution with the customer? (Choose two.)

A customer has an existing FlashBlade//S500 with 10 blades each with two 24 TB DFMs. The customer system is running at 70% capacity. They have a 480 T archive running on spinning disks that is due for a refresh. It is expected to grow 300% over the next two years. What should be recommended to the customer?

Refer to the exhibit. The customer states that this FlashBlade is being used as a target for periodic backups. Backups are expected to complete once per day. Which information can be interpreted from the graph and key?

Which two features of FlashBlade can be highlighted for enterprise imaging workloads? (Choose two.)

A customer wants a storage platform for file and object data. The customer is considering a spinning disk array to replace aging infrastructure and needs a comparable price to consider a Pure Storage solution. What should be recommended to this customer?

A potential FlashBlade customer has an application that supports hundreds of clients. They require all client requests to be balanced across all available blades. Which FlashBlade network design accomplishes this?

A customer has a FlashBlade system with eight blades with two 24 TB DFMs per blade.  What is the minimum amount of raw capacity that can be added to this system without adding a blade?

Refer to the keys in the exhibit. At 10:49:00, which file system is experiencing the most read latency?
