A hospital has recently contacted you about a major environment upgrade. Due to funding issues
and frequently changing management, they have allowed their infrastructure to age to a point that
it is experiencing failures that impact patient care. The new CIO still has funding concerns, but the
board has realized that they must spend money to stay in business and grow their patient base.
This hospital has similar concerns to that of other medical facilities. They must meet HIPAA
[Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) requirements (how data security is handled)
and be able to provide 7×24 support for all patient care systems.
The hospital has approximately 400 servers. They have one mainframe, four HP-UX servers
supporting Oracle databases, one AIX system supporting DB2, and all other systems are aging
ProLiants running Windows 2003 or 2008. The mainframe has dedicated storage and there are
three EMC CLARiiON systems that have been experiencing both performance and availability
problems. Between the four storage islands, the hospital has approximately 450TB of data stored
on approximately 720TB of storage hardware. Most backups are being performed by Symantec
NetBackup to an older StorageTek library with LT02 technology.

They plan to consolidate their storage environment and as many of their Windows servers as
possible using VMware on blade technology. They have asked that you assist in designing a
storage environment that provides similar consolidation benefits and meets 5 9 availability
requirements. They are growing their storage environment at approximately 15% per year. There
is no requirement for tape, but assurance that backups are performed and offsite is necessary.
If the hospital chooses to exclude the mainframe storage from their consolidation efforts, which
storage solution will best meet their needs?

A customer is running a vSphere 4 solution in production. The storage for the solution is an HP
P4500 G2 Virealization SAN Solution. There are growing concerns with data availability and
business continuity. Datacenter space is available at a second campus less than 10km away. The
existing investment in vSphere and P4500 technology must be preserved.
Which method can you use to create quorum in the event of a site failure?

Your customer has a requirement for a mainframe solution to serve their billing system. The
storage solution also needs to be able to support other open systems in their enterprise.
Availability and performance consistency are also required. Which solution meets these
requirements?

Your customer plans to centralize and virtualize their user desktops using a VMware View solution
for 600 users. Their primary focus for this project is efficiency. You design a server, storage and
backup solution using HP infrastructure products. In your design, the server infrastructure consists
of BL460c G7 server blades and a P4800 solution using four nodes. You use HP Networking as
the network infrastructure.
Which HP StoreOnce function supports the customer’s focus?

DRAG DROP
Click the Task button. Your customer wants to implement a VMware View environment. They have
decided on an HP BladeSystem, but have not yet determined the storage solution. They prefer an
iSCSI, scale-out storage solution since they are unsure of the overall scope at this time. The
company wants to move toward leading-edge networking technology utilizing 10GbE. They have
minimal staff and want to keep tape management at a minimum. Cost is a major factor in the
decision process since this approach is not yet proven in their environment. They have asked you
to design a storage solution for their new environment. Place the solution components in the
correct locations to create a solution that meets this customer’s needs.

DRAG DROP
Click the Task button. Your customer has a requirement to replicate a number of D2D devices to
and from additional offices and you need to determine the number of licenses that are required to
accomplish this. Identify the number of licenses that are required for each Replication Model.

You are building an X9720 Network Storage System solution consisting of four 164TB capacity
blocks. What is the minimum number of Blade Server (Performance Block) pairs required for this
installation?
