The CTO for a healthcare IT company just returned from HP Discover. They would like a
presentation about the HP StoreServ family of arrays. The company has one data center
with servers and storage. Government regulations require the company to have one copy of
patient data in the data center and two additional copies. The company utilizes Amazon
Storage Services to retain the two additional copies due to their data center limitations. The
current array also failed to recover from a controller failure three months ago. Which HP
value proposition will increase data availability and efficiency for the customer?

A.
HP Remote Copy software

B.
HP Autonomic storage provisioning and data tiering

C.
HP Peer Motion

D.
HP 3PAR Mesh-Active clustering and persistent cache

Explanation:
Mesh-Active Controller Design
All HP 3PAR Storage Systems feature a unique Mesh-Active design as part of a
nextgeneration architecture designed for virtual and cloud data centers. Unlike legacy
“activeactive” controller architectures — where each volume is active on only a single
controller — this Mesh-Active design allows each volume to be active on every controller in
the system. The result is robust,load-balanced performance and greater headroom for
costeffective scalability that is designed to overcome the tradeoffs associated with modular
and monolithic storage systems. A high-speed, full-mesh, passive system backplane joins
multiple Controller Nodes to form a cachecoherent, active-active cluster that represents the
next generation of Tier 1 Storage.
