The correct answer is C. ServerA-23TB, ServerB-36TB. The minimum storage is derived by adding each server's current usage to its projected growth amount - ServerA needs 22.5TB and ServerB needs 36TB, and only option C satisfies both minimums.
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?
Options
- AServerA-18TB, ServerB-24TB
- BServerA-22TB, ServerB-22TB
- CServerA-23TB, ServerB-36TB
- DServerA-25TB, ServerB-40TB

Why each option
The minimum storage is derived by adding each server's current usage to its projected growth amount - ServerA needs 22.5TB and ServerB needs 36TB, and only option C satisfies both minimums.
ServerA at 18TB is below the 22.5TB minimum (15TB plus 50% growth), and ServerB at 24TB is far below the 36TB minimum (20TB plus 80% growth), so neither server's requirement is met.
ServerA at 22TB falls short of the 22.5TB minimum needed for 50% growth over 15TB, and ServerB at 22TB does not approach the 36TB minimum required for 80% growth over 20TB.
ServerA requires 15TB plus 50% growth (7.5TB) for a minimum of 22.5TB, and 23TB satisfies this threshold. ServerB requires 20TB plus 80% growth (16TB) for a minimum of exactly 36TB, which option C meets precisely - making it the lowest-capacity option that covers both servers' minimum projected needs without over-provisioning.
ServerA at 25TB and ServerB at 40TB both exceed their respective minimums of 22.5TB and 36TB, meaning this option over-provisions storage and is not the minimum required to satisfy the growth estimates.
