A customer wants to integrate a P4500 Multi-Site SAN Solution in their environment. Currently,
their infrastructure consists of two EVA systems. The customer has 18TB of Tier-1 and 6TB of
Tier-2 data, which need different performance and availability levels.
You design a P4000 Virtual SAN Appliance (VSA) solution on VMware vSphere4 with one DL380
G7 in each datacenter to utilize existing EVA disk space for the Tier-2 data.
You recommend an HP D2D Backup System and HP Data Protector for a backup solution. You
design a dedicated iSCSI network for the D2D and P4000 solution.
Which step must be performed in the customer’s backup application to achieve an optimal
deduplication ratio and optimal performance?

A customer is running a vSphere 4 solution in production. The storage for the solution is an HP
P4500 G2 Virtualization SAN Solution. There are growing concerns with data availability and
business continuity. Datacenter space is available at additional sites within a 5km radius. The
existing investment in vSphere P4500 technology must be preserved.
How should traffic be shaped?

HOTSPOT
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.

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.
