DRAG DROP
You present an HP 3PAR StoreServ concept to a customer. The customer wants to know how
your design solves their technical and business needs and reduces their TCO .Map the HP 3PAR
StoreServ solution component to the correct TCO element.

A customer branch office backup and recovery strategy integrates replication using several HP
StoreOnce D2D4112Î 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?

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?

A backup administrator has an HP D2D4112 G2 Backup System, which was upgraded to 3.x
software and uses HP Data Protector 7.01. The administrator is ready to implement HP StoreOnce
Catalyst.
What should the administrator purchase so the existing infrastructure and software investment is
maximized?

A customer has outgrown the internal tape drive on their media server. You recommend
eliminating tape and leveraging an HP StoreOnce solution that enables replication if the customer
media server uses 10GbE network connections, what is the smallest HP StoreOnce solution you
can recommend?

You are working with a local manufacturing company to design a new SAN fabric for their primary
and DR data centers. The customer requirements include:
– Fabric issues occurring in one SAN fabric must not impact or affect the other SAN fabric.
– The ability to isolate the test environment from the production environment.
– The primary and DR data centers need to utilize the same infrastructure to reduce the
administration burden on SAN administrators.
Which storage technology should you propose to meet the stated requirements?

Refer to the exhibit.

A customer reports performance issues in their newly-installed storage environment, which you
designed. A storage performance report shows that the storage system is not over utilized. What
should you recommend to solve the problem?

When sizing a solution involving deduplication, how does the rate of changed blocks between
backups affect the deduplication ratio?

Refer to the scenario.
A large publicly-traded motion picture exhibitor that is a leader in digital and 3D cinema
deployments operates 233 theaters and more than 2,200 screens in small to mid-sized
communities in 35 states around the United States. They rely on MS Exchange Server 2010 for
email. MS SQL Server 2010 for analyzing data about movies and theater-goers, and MS Excel
2010 for crunching numbers.
The company runs nightly incremental backups and a full weekly backup that consists of close to 7
TB of data which takes up 72 hours to complete. The quarterly backups add an additional 7 TB of
data. Tapes are inventoried and transported from the main data center to the disaster recovery
site 150 miles away. The process of transporting tape cartridges to and from the Disaster
Recovery site requires hours of daily work.
The company currently relies on an aging robotic tape library and a process that takes the nightly
backup tapes offsite every morning. Additionally, the company keeps an inventory, and if a restore
is necessary they have to retrieve the tapes from the DR site and transport them to the main data
center site They have a 7 year data retention plan, and the tapes are expensive and not always
reliable. Given the company’s current system, if a full weekly backup fails over a weekend, the rerun could take up to 10 hours, even if just one job failed.
The company has deployed a virtualized server infrastructure which runs VMware vSphere 5 on
HP
BladeSystem c7000 enclosures and BL460c servers interconnected with HP Virtual Connect Flex-
10 10Gb Ethernet Modules as well as several HP ProLiant DL380 servers.
The company’s top four IT improvements goals are as follows:
– replacing the aging robotic tape library
– enabling replication of backed up data from the main data center to the disaster recovery site
(150 miles)
– retaining more backup data in smaller disk space
– increasing efficiency reliability, and ease of system administration

Moreover the company’s top three business benefit goals are as follows:
– increased confidence in disaster recovery
– minimal disruption by backups during regular business hours
– improved management of external audits
The company has asked that you create multiple solution proposals and prioritize one when you
return for a presentation.
Based on the discussions with the client, you determine that the current DR strategy is not optimal.
You want to propose a new layout that utilizes three data facilities, as shown in the exhibit.

How should you build the storage and backup based on this DR strategy?

Refer to the scenario.

During a design workshop, you become aware that the customer is adding a number of application
servers into the virtualized environment to be included in the backup environment. What is the
minimum number of stores you need to create in order to achieve optimal deduplication
performance?
