You have designed a new SAN fabric for a customer. The fabric consists of CISCO MD5 6/24c Fabric switches for HP Bladesystem C class.
Which feature allows automatic mapping of physical WWNs to virtual WWNs using NAT?
A customer branch office backup and recovery strategy integrates replication using several HP StoreOnce D2D4112L in the branch offices and an HP StoreOnce D2D4312 Backup system in the main data center. After a presentation of the new HP StoreOnce Backup System and its functionalities the customer wants to use HP StoreOnce Catalyst with the HP Data Protector installation in the main data center.
What has to be done to integrate this concept?
An existing environment contains a two-node HP 3PAR StoreServ 10400 storage array with approximately 60 TB of capacity spread across three tiers. The customer plans to replicate their business critical data to a remote DR site. The customer cannot afford to lose any of this data. You propose that the customer install an HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400 Storage system at the DR site.
The CFO does not want the remote equipment to sit idle, so the customer will use that equipment for data mining. The results must be replicated back to the main site. The customer also requires that the replication of the data mining results have zero impact on the data mining performance.
Which HP 3PAR technology enables the proposed solution to meet the customer requirements?
At a customer meeting with the CEO and CFO, you present a storage solution consisting of several HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400 systems for their long-term storage strategy. While elaborating on the storage system performance directly related to the number of disks and linear scalability in your proposed solution, you realize that the attention of your audience has started to decline.
What has gone wrong?
Which HP 3PAR StoreServ feature improves storage array resiliency?
A large telecom company specializing in mobile services has experienced rapid growth. The year to year growth between 2003 and 2012 was approximately 15%.The proposed critical solution needs to work with the existing application modules and deliver a maximum data transfer capacity of 120TB. The solution has to offer Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over the next 5 years. Which critical backup solution and support level should you propose? Select two.
A leading automotive technology company wants to increase the performance and capacity of the storage infrastructure that supports the design and manufacture of its line of Formula 1 racing cars. The company is also interested in safe-guarding its mission-critical data and eliminating the threat of business disruption.
Due to the massive engineering and technical effort required to create a new race car design and to enable regular delivery of upgraded parts to the race track while maintaining a competitive edge, it is necessary to have advanced applications running on a high-performance IT infrastructure. The company operates out of two data centers. The centers support a Plant Lifecycle Management database, an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, and various trackside systems to set up the race car and aid race strategy. In addition, the centers run applications for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) packages.
The company has deployed Oracle and SQL databases, VMware virtual machines, email, and all other applications on an HP 6400 Enterprise virtual Array (EVA). The EVAs automatically replicate between the two data centers to guard against failure. The EVAs are aging, applications are more sophisticated, data volumes have grown exponentially, and bottlenecks in the storage system are now having a significant effect on the performance of the simulation and analysis tools that are vital to the company's competitive position. The data storage problem has reached a point where the company is forced to store primary data at the secondary site causing the loss of their disaster recovery capability.
The company's top five IT Improvement goals are:
-Reduce complaints about storage system availability.
-increase support for sophisticated design and manufacturing applications.
-Provide a robust replication capability between data centers.
-increase storage utilization while deploying additional capacity.
-Simplify operations during peak workloads.
Moreover, the company's top three business benefit goals are:
-Ensure rapid data retrieval to aid in quick decision making.
-Protect mission-critical data and ensure business continuity.
-Recover costs from existing infrastructure, thus providing increased IT funds for additional projects.
Further investigation reveals that the data centers are 175 meters apart with two diversely-routed 50 micron multi-mode fiber optic cables. The solution requires 16 Gbs of bandwidth between sites. Which additional information is needed from your customer to ensure their interconnect goals are met?
