Your customer wants a new server tor a File & print workload. What are the most important factors to consider? (Select two.)

The primary purpose of a File & Print server is to store data and provide access to it over a network. Therefore, storage capacity (C) is a fundamental requirement to ensure the server can hold all necessary files. The transfer rate (D), which encompasses both the storage subsystem's I/O performance and the network bandwidth, is equally critical. A high transfer rate ensures that multiple users can access, retrieve, and save files efficiently without experiencing delays, which is essential for productivity. These two factors directly define the server's ability to fulfill its core role.

A. support level: This is a crucial operational consideration for any server, not a technical factor dictated specifically by the performance demands of a File & Print workload.

B. power supply wattage: This is a resultant specification, chosen to support the primary components (CPU, drives, etc.) that are selected based on the workload's needs.

E. form factor: This is determined by the physical environment (e.g., data center rack vs. office closet) and scalability plans, not the functional requirements of the workload itself.
