Scenario Overview:A customer is modernizing its distributed Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system environment that supports operations across multiple North American regions. The current storage landscape includes read-heavy workloads located at core sites and smaller replication workloads at regional offices. The company is moving to a subscription-based storage model to simplify infrastructure management and reduce upfront costs.The IT team has shared current performance and capacity requirements, and they expect the solution to handle read-intensive transactional loads, and provide replication between select sites for resilience. Site performance fluctuates with project lifecycles. No Pure-based replication (ActiveDR, ActiveCluster, or async) will be implemented. Workloads will be hosted on multiple sites as identified in the scenario above. You have been asked to determine a right-sized Pure Storage FlashArray configuration that meets both performance and capacity needs while accounting for: 5% yearly growth for core sites and 3% yearly growth for regional offices Read-intensive workload profiles with 32KiB average IO size Lightweight replication at secondary sites Workload-specific data reduction estimates using Sizer guidance Customer Requirements: Workload 1 (Site 1) – ERP:Dataset size: 85.49 TiBEstimated average read IOPS: 30,000Estimated read bandwidth: 937.5 MiB/sExpected DRR: 2.8Workload 2 (Site 2) – ERP:Dataset size: 97.32 TiBEstimated average read IOPS: 30,000Estimated read bandwidth: 937.5 MiB/sExpected DRR: 2.8Workload 3 (Site 3) – Replication (S1 Replication):Dataset size: 203.73 TiBEstimated average read IOPS: 2,000Estimated read bandwidth: 62.5 MiB/sExpected DRR: 1.2Workload 4 (Site 4) – Replication (S2 Replication):Dataset size: 215.55 TiBEstimated average read IOPS: 2,000Estimated read bandwidth: 62.5 MiB/sExpected DRR: 1.2Candidate Instructions:Using Sizer, identify the “Evergreen//One” section of the Results tab, taking note of the Minimum Quote Recommendation, sizing inputs, and SLA guarantee.
