Scenario: The customer is a university with 20,000 students and 3,500 staff. They have been directed
to reduc 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
returr on investment before new hardware can be purchased.
Their environment consists of HP BladeSystem c7000, with sixteen BL685c 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, 30TE 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

A small-sized enterprise owning 8Gb Simple SAN Connection Kits needs to extend its fabrics. Which
entry-level SAN switch product should you include in your new design for continuity?

A hospital customer needs to expand their capability to process and store medical images. A recent
acquisition of another hospital and additional CT scanners has doubled their need for additional
storage for these images. They are currently storing most images on dedicated systems that are
directly associated with the radiology departments on small SAN-based storage arrays and backing up
to DLT for recovery. The IT director indicates they want a central repository for holding images until
they are archived to long-term storage. This central repository must be accessible by file sharing
protocols so that the radiologists can access images at their workstations, even after an image has been
initially read at the original scanner. This repository needs to be able to add additional capacity
without downtime. They also need to consolidate and reduce the space requirements of all their
current solutions. How should you address the backup part of the solution? (Select two.)
