A customer buys two PS Series arrays to store data for the database servers. One array has 15K RPM disks configured as RAID 10, and the other array has 10K RPM disks configured as RAID 6. This system was chosen to meet the need to data capacity and a very high anticipated level of IOPs.
The customer reports that database servers run business critical applications. Performance is a priority for these databases. A large data warehouse holds historical data from the business used to mine data.
Which two configurations provide the fastest performance to meet the customer requirements? (Choose two.)
A. Create one pool and assign RAID preference to RAID 10 for priority applications.
B. Create one pool and let the load balancers manage page placement.
C. Create two pools, and place all log file volumes in the 15K pool and all database volumes on the 10K disks.
D. Create one pool and set a high priority level on all business volumes.
E. Create two pools, place the priority volumes on the 15K disks, and place the data warehouse volumes on the 10K disks.

Here Are Four New Workstations From Dell's Precision Lineup
Obtaining a workstation at an affordable price does not mean that users need to drastically reduce the power of the CPU or graphics.
That's Dell's message with the launch of several new entry-level Precision 3000 workstations, which offer great power with some of the latest Intel, Nvidia and AMD chips, but have starting prices of between US $ 650 and US $ 900. Key applications for the new towers and rack workstations include virtual reality production and medical imaging, according to Dell.
The company has also reduced the footprint of Precision 3000 workstations from previous generations, allowing its use in a wide variety of environments, and has also renovated its Precision Tower 5820 with new processors.
Here are some key details about four new Dell Precision workstations.
Precision rack 3930
Following Dell's launch of an ultra-powerful precision frame in a 2U form factor last fall, the company is now launching a more compact 1U rack workstation that also offers tremendous performance. The new Precision 3930 Rack features six-core Intel Xeon E processors from the new E-2100 family or can be configured with eighth-generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 chips.
The graphics options include a range of AMD and Nvidia cards, up to the Nvidia Quadro P6000. The rack also offers up to 64GB of DDR4 memory and up to 24TB of storage, and comes with three PCIe slots. Dell says the Precision 3930 Rack is ideal for use in highly demanding computing environments, including industrial automation and medical imaging.
The Dell Precision 3930 Rack will be available on July 26 with a starting price of US $ 899.
Precision Tower 3630
Dell says the Precision 3630 Tower PC is 23 percent smaller than the previous generation model, with 13.19 x 6.95 x 13.58 inches, but still retains a lot of power. The processor options include the Intel Core i7-8700K and Intel Xeon E six-core chips, and the tower can be configured with up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory.
The tower also supports up to 225W of graphics, says Dell. The graphics options include the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 and the Nvidia Quadro P5000, as well as other cards in the AMD Radeon Pro series and the Nvidia Quadro series. Storage can reach up to 16 TB. Ultimately, Dell says the Precision 3630 Tower offers capabilities for virtual reality production in the entry-level Precision 3000 Tower series for the first time.
The Dell Precision 3630 Tower is now available with a starting price of US $ 749.
Form factor small precision tower 3430
Aimed at customers with tight spaces, the Precision 3430 small form factor tower is only 3.65 inches wide, but still offers solid CPU and graphics performance. The processor options include Intel Xeon E, Core i3 / i5 / i7 eighth generation and Pentium, while graphics options go to AMD Radeon Pro WX 4100 or Nvidia Quadro P1000. Like other new versions of Dell precision, the Precision 3430 small form factor tower can include up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory. The tower also offers up to 6 TB of storage.
The Dell Precision 3430 Tower Small Form Factor Tower is now available with a starting price of US $ 649.
Precision tower 5820
Dell is also implementing a significant update of its Precision 5820 Tower. While the shape factor of the tower remains the same, the Precision 5820 workstation will gain a great boost to performance with the addition of the Intel Core X series processors as an option. The X series chips join the existing processor options in the Intel Xeon W series.

Dell’s New Laser Projector Offers A 100-inch 4K HDR Display
If you dream of an 80-inch and 4K television but shout at the idea of spending $ 10,000 and more, Dell has a new laser projector that could be the perfect solution. Nicknamed the Dell Advanced 4K Laser Projector, the device offers a huge 4-inch 100-inch display with HDR support. Add in the fact that it can be placed very close to a wall as long as you have the flat surface space you are ready to go.
Dell notes that the projector is designed primarily for use in office or class situations, where a 100-inch display is useful for presenting to a large number of people. However, it offers several advantages that make it a perfect fit for a living room as well. The projectors often have to be placed several feet from the wall they are showing, but this model is ultra-short shot, which means you only need 4 inches of space between the wall to produce that 4 inch image of 100 inches .
Another advantage is the simple fact that it uses a laser instead of a bulb, an expensive component that needs to be replaced from time to time in other projectors. Dell promises that with eight hours of use five days a week will have a lifespan of at least 10 years. With much less daily use in a home environment, it is easy to imagine using the projector for much longer.
Other tidbits include a refresh rate of 120hz and the ability to project content from four different entries over a network connection. There is also Bluetooth support for wireless audio output and a USB port for playing media directly from the device. Dell says the advanced 4K laser projector will be priced at $ 5,999 and is expected to go on sale in the United States starting July 19.
