The FlashBlade has the following configuration:7 blades, each with two 24 TB drives200 TiB of usable capacity75% utilization The customer plans to add another 100 TiB of data to the array.

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.
