Question

A server administrator is researching the purchase of SSD for a server.

The administrator receives a report from the datacenter technician detailing current storage requirements and future growth planning estimates as follows: ServerA: Current-15TB-Future-50% growth ServerB: Current-20TB-Future-80% growth Based on this report, which of the following represents the MINIMUM storage requirements needed?

C.

To determine the minimum storage requirements for the two servers, we need to calculate the storage needed for each server based on the current and future growth estimates.

For ServerA, the current storage is 15TB, and the future growth estimate is 50%. To calculate the future storage needs, we need to multiply the current storage by 1.5 (which represents the 50% growth).

So, the future storage requirements for ServerA would be:

15TB x 1.5 = 22.5TB

However, since we need to determine the minimum storage requirements, we need to round up to the nearest whole number, which would be:

23TB

For ServerB, the current storage is 20TB, and the future growth estimate is 80%. To calculate the future storage needs, we need to multiply the current storage by 1.8 (which represents the 80% growth).

So, the future storage requirements for ServerB would be:

20TB x 1.8 = 36TB

Therefore, the minimum storage requirements for the two servers would be:

ServerA - 23TB ServerB - 36TB

The answer choice that matches these requirements is option C: ServerA-23TB, ServerB-36TB.
