Correct Answer: D
Question 11
You have had several discussions with your customer in the processor design industry. They have stated that they want a Scale-Out NAS platform for their design environment.
Their most significant responses were "We have 125 design engineers accessing large diagrams and we need high throughput to support them. Can we also get the highest performance available?
We need to stay ahead of our competitors." Other areas you discussed were their data retention policies and workflow after the chip design is completed. They plan to archive the design files but the files must stay on line.
What is your initial node recommendation?
