Which memory capacity is the minimum needed for a Nutanix cluster to enable RF3 and performance tier deduplication?

24 GB
32 GB
20 GB
28 GB

The correct answer is: 28 GB

The minimum memory capacity needed for a Nutanix cluster to enable RF3 (Replication Factor 3) and performance tier deduplication is 28 GB. This capacity is crucial because RF3 requires a sufficient amount of memory for the cluster to handle the additional overhead introduced by data replication across multiple nodes. Each node must be capable of processing and managing the data effectively to maintain redundancy without significant performance degradation. In addition, performance tier deduplication relies on adequate RAM to analyze and reduce duplicate data at high speeds. This process occurs in memory, making it vital that the cluster meets the specified memory capacity to optimize performance while ensuring data integrity through RF3. Other memory capacities such as 24 GB, 32 GB, or 20 GB do not meet the required minimum specifications for enabling RF3 and performance tier deduplication within a Nutanix environment. The specified 28 GB strikes the necessary balance to support both the replication factor and deduplication processes effectively.
