Which information is needed to correctly specify a solution?
A customer is ready to implement a 1.5TB SQL database. They are utilizing EVA8400 arrays and
asynchronous replication between the arrays. In the event of a site failure, there is failover hardware in
a remote data center. HP Data Protector is the backup application. The business wants to extend the
disaster recovery to include protection against data corruption.Which information is needed to
correctly specify a solution?

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.
