Question
An alternative energy company was founded in 2003 by a joint venture of two regional energy companies in the United States. They focused on engineering solutions for the solar energy sector. Since 2010, they have offered operational services, including billing and financial services, for solar power plants. The acquisition of companies related to this sector is a future strategy to raise their market share. Moreover, in 2012 the company established a branch office in Europe to take part in the extensive European market growth. A new storage solution is being designed for the company's central organization. Which questions should the IT manager be asked to verify that the proposed solution will cover the business needs when acquiring new companies? (Select two.)
Options
- AWhich requirements must be met today, in three months, and in six months?
- BHow do you expect business to grow in the near future?
- CHow does the user define performance?
- DWhich criteria must be met for fault tolerance and recovery time?
- EIs the intended use of the solution processor intensive?

Why each option
When designing storage for a company with an active acquisition growth strategy, the IT manager must be asked about phased timeline requirements and fault tolerance criteria to ensure the solution meets evolving and critical business needs.
Asking about requirements across specific time intervals (today, three months, six months) directly aligns the storage solution design with the company's near-term acquisition roadmap, ensuring the solution can scale to meet imminent changes in capacity and integration demands.
Asking vaguely about 'near future' business growth does not yield the specific, measurable technical requirements needed to properly size or design a storage solution for known acquisition events.
Performance definitions are a valid storage concern but do not specifically address the business continuity or growth and acquisition requirements that are central to this scenario.
Fault tolerance and recovery time criteria are foundational storage SLA requirements - understanding these thresholds ensures the proposed solution supports business continuity expectations, which is especially critical when integrating newly acquired companies into central infrastructure.
Processor intensity is a compute resource question and not a storage business requirement, making it irrelevant to determining whether a storage solution meets the company's acquisition and operational needs.
