A power plant is planning to move and redesign their data center locations and layouts. Currently HP
XP12000 enterprise-class storage systems are in use. They cannot afford any downtime or tolerate any
data loss. Which HP storage disk array family should you include in your design?

A customer needs a synchronous replication solution to a remote site at a very low-price entry point.
Which product meets the customer’s requirements?

Scenario: The customer is a university with 20,000 students and 3,500 staff. They have been directed
to reduce their overall IT spending for the next 3 years by 30%. A major issue is that most of the
university’s server and storage infrastructure is now over 3 years old and they need to show substantial
return on investment before new hardware can be purchased. Their environment consists of HP
BladeSystems c7000, with sixteen BL6S5c servers, a mixture of twelve Gl and four G5 servers. The
G5 servers are the newest (less than a year old) while the Gl servers are now more than three years
old. Most equipment was installed three years earlier, The interconnect modules in the C7000 Blade
Enclosure for both the Ethernet and fibre connections are Pass Thru Modules. The storage is an
EVA8000 with 50TB of disk, 30TB of Fibre Channel disk and 20TB of FATA disk. This too is over 3
years old. Connecting all the fibre components are two HP MDS9216i SAN Switches, Their entire
server base is virtualized using ESX 3.5 utilizing VMware High Availability (HA) and DRS. All of
the university’s critical systems run on the BL685c Gl servers. The university requires a 24 x 7 uptime

on all e-Learning systems including email. The university does not utilize any additional software
tools to manage their systems other than VMware vCentre and HP CommandView.
