The CTO for a healthcare IT company just returned from HP Discover. They would like a
presentation about the HP StoreServ family of arrays. The company has one data center with
servers and storage. Government regulations require the company to have one copy of patient
data in the data center and two additional copies.
The company utilizes Amazon Storage Services to retain the two additional copies due to their
data center limitations. The current array also failed to recover from a controller failure three
months ago. Which HP value proposition will increase data availability and efficiency for the
customer?

A.
HP Remote Copy software

B.
HP Autonomic storage provisioning and data tiering

C.
HP Peer Motion

D.
HP 3PAR Mesh-Active clustering and persistent cache

Explanation:
Mesh-Active Controller Design
All HP 3PAR Storage Systems feature a unique Mesh-Active design as part of a next-generation
architecture designed for virtual and cloud data centers. Unlike legacy “active-active” controller
architectures — where each volume is active on only a single controller — this Mesh-Active design
allows each volume to be active on every controller in the system. The result is robust, loadbalanced performance and greater headroom for costeffective scalability that is designed to
overcome the tradeoffs associated with modular and monolithic storage systems. A high-speed,
full-mesh, passive system backplane joins multiple Controller Nodes to form a cachecoherent,
active-active cluster that represents the next generation of Tier 1 Storage.
