Refer to the scenario.

Which feature of the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system used in the solution allows the customer
to meet technical goals while reducing capital expenses?
A leading automotive technology company wants to increase the performance and capacity of the
storage infrastructure that supports the design and manufacture of its line of Formula 1 racing
cars. The company is also interested in safe-guarding its mission-critical data and eliminating the
threat of business disruption. Due to the massive engineering and technical effort required to
create a new race car design and to enable regular delivery of upgraded parts to the race track
while maintaining a competitive edge, it is necessary to have advanced applications running on a
high-performance IT infrastructure. The company operates out of two data centers. The centers
support a Plant Lifecycle Management database, an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system,
and various trackside systems to set up the race car and aid race strategy. In addition, the
centers run applications for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Computer-Aided Manufacturing
(CAM), and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) packages.
The company has deployed Oracle and SQL databases, VMware virtual machines, email, and all
other applications on an HP 6400 Enterprise virtual Array (EVA). The EVAs automatically replicate
between the two data centers to guard against failure. The EVAs are aging, applications are more
sophisticated, data volumes have grown exponentially, and bottlenecks in the storage system are
now having a significant effect on the performance of the simulation and analysis tools that are
vital to the company’s competitive position. The data storage problem has reached a point where
the company is forced to store primary data at the secondary site causing the loss of their disaster
recovery capability.
The company’s top five IT Improvement goals are:
– Reduce complaints about storage system availability.
– increase support for sophisticated design and manufacturing applications.
– Provide a robust replication capability between data centers.
– increase storage utilization while deploying additional capacity.
– Simplify operations during peak workloads.
Moreover, the company’s top three business benefit goals are:
– Ensure rapid data retrieval to aid in quick decision making.
– Protect mission-critical data and ensure business continuity.
– Recover costs from existing infrastructure, thus providing increased IT funds for additional
projects.
The company has asked that you create multiple solution proposals and prioritize one when you
return for a presentation.
