Nutanix Exam NCS-Core Topic 3 Question 65 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCS-Core exam

Question #: 65
Topic #: 3

A consultant successfully creates a Nutanix cluster. The consultant needs to configure containers for the customers business critical applications and general server workloads. The customer requirements are to achieve maximum storage space savings and optimize

I/O performance.

What setting(s) should the consultant enable on the storage container(s)?

ACompression and deduplication

BDeduplication only

CCompression and erasure coding

DCompression only

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

To meet the requirements of maximizing storage space savings while optimizing I/O performance for business-critical applications and general server workloads, enabling both compression and erasure coding on the storage containers is recommended. Compression reduces the data footprint on storage disks, while erasure coding provides data redundancy in an efficient manner, which not only saves space but also enhances data durability and I/O performance for read-intensive applications.

C is an interesting option, but I think the customer is looking for more straightforward solutions. A is the clear winner here.

I think Compression only might be enough for storage space savings, but Compression and deduplication together will provide better optimization.

Hmm, I'm not sure about erasure coding. Might be overkill for this use case. I'd say A is the way to go - keep it simple and effective.
