NCP-EUC Exam Topic 3 Question 22 Discussion:
Question #: 22
Topic #: 3
An administrator is asked to configure storage to support four pools of 250 persistent full clone desktops, and an additional five pools of 200 non-persistent desktops.
What is the optimal configuration for this?
A.
Five containers with compression and deduplication and four with compression only
B.
Nine containers with Compression Only
C.
One container with Compression, Deduplication, and Erasure Coding
D.
One container with compression only and one with compression and deduplication
The optimal storage configuration aligns the container settings with the specific I/O patterns of the workload types:
Non-Persistent Desktops: These are typically linked clones (MCS/Instant Clones) with high write churn and little data commonality in the delta disks. Compression Only is best. Deduplication adds overhead with no benefit.
Persistent Full Clones: These are full copies of the OS. Because there are hundreds of copies of the same OS files, Deduplication (Capacity or Performance tier) is highly effective at saving space. Compression is always recommended.
Therefore, creating two separate containers—one configured with Compression Only (for the non-persistent pools) and one with Compression and Deduplication (for the persistent full clone pools)—provides the best balance of performance and capacity efficiency (Option D).
