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 goa’s 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.
You are proposing an HP StoreOnce Backup System solution.
Which tuning should be planned to performance and meet the customer business goals?

A customer is building a new data center. They want to implement a free cooling strategy in order
to reduce their Computer Room Air Handling (CRAH) costs, while increasing their rack density.
Which free cooling methods meet the customer requirements? (Select two.)

You are reviewing a colleague’s design for a new storage environment. The solution consists of
two HP 3PAR StoreServ arrays. The colleague also proposes an HP Multi-protocol Router Blade
for the B-Series to extend the fabric.
Which customer requirements should lead you to choose an HP MPX200 Multi-protocol Router as
an alternative? (Select two.)

You are working with a customer to design and install a Fibre Channel storage solution based on
HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage.
The customer wants data migration to be part of the solution. The IT environment includes
VMware vSphere 5 and Windows 2008 R2 servers.
The customer intends to utilize the existing non-HP array for Tier 2 storage on the Windows 2008
R2 servers.
The existing array is also being used as the target of the customer backups. and that data will not
be migrated.

The customer wants to capitalize on their previous purchases and spend as little as possible for
data migration.
What should you recommend the customer use to migrate the data? (Select two)

You are sizing a solution based on performance requirements.
How do you calculate the number of front-end I/ Os versus back-end I/O when doing single writes?
(Select three.)

An existing environment contains a two-node HP 3PAR StoreServ 10400 storage array with
approximately 60 TB of capacity spread across three tiers. The customer plans to replicate their
business critical data to a remote DR site. The customer cannot afford to lose any of this data. You
propose that the customer install an HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400 Storage system at the DR site.
The CFO does not want the remote equipment to sit idle, so the customer will use that equipment

for data mining. The results must be replicated back to the main site. The customer also requires
that the replication of the data mining results have zero impact on the data mining performance.
Which HP 3PAR technology enables the proposed solution to meet the customer requirements?

Your customer has a number of existing HP P4500 clusters across two sites. They are installing a
new upgraded HP StoreVirtual 4000 environment, with new management groups. The new
environment consists of:
– HP B|adeSystem c7000 enclosures with HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 modules
– HP ProLiant BL460c Server Blades running VMware vSphere and Windows 2008 on physical
server systems
– HP StoreVirtual 4430
– Cisco Nexus 5000 switches
The HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 modules connect to the switches in three 10Gb shared uplink
sets. The storage connects to the switches via 10Gb. During a design meeting for the new
environment the customer asks for the method with the least amount of downtime to migrate the
data for their physical servers to the new storage arrays.
Which method should you suggest?

You are designing a storage solution for a customer who has three data centers on a campus and
a 10Gb/s network infrastructure. The business requirements state that a complete site failure must
be tolerated. You propose six HP Storevirtual 4530 nodes split evenly between the sites.
Which Network RAID level should you recommend to the customer to meet their business
availability needs?

Your customer has two data centers in a campus. The environment consists of:
HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosures with HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 modules
HP ProLiant BL460c Server Blades
HP Storevirtual 4430
HP 5900 Switches
The HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 modules connect to the switches in three 10Gb Shared Uplink
sets. The storage connects to the switches via 10Gb. The customer wants to migrate their network
to a flat architecture and simplify managements.
What should you implement to meet the customer requirements?

A NetBackup customer needs to improve the RTO after a disaster is declared at the primary data
center. They have failed several disaster recovery audits because of extended recovery times You
recommend that they replace tape library with an HP StoreOnce Backup System that replicates
the primary data center backups to the remote site.
Which device interface provides the lowest RTO?
