A company is planning a large client Virtualization environment featuring an HP BladeSystem with
ProLiant servers, HP Virtual Connect Flex-10, and HP StoreVirtual 4800 Storage Systems. Which
storage advantage does this architecture provide over competitors’ client Virtualization solutions?
A.
Storage traffic that enters the Virtual Connect module is prioritized automatically.
B.
Storage traffic remains within the Virtual Connect domain for better Performance.
C.
Each SAN provides dedicated storage for each hypervisor.
D.
Each SAN is its own cluster, eliminating data segmentation across multiple clusters.
Explanation:
HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric interconnects pair with HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port onboard or
mezzanine based adapters and provide FlexNIC functionality with Converged Network Adapters
(CNAs) capable of either iSCSI, FCoE or native Fibre Channel storage protocols.
With Virtual Connect 4.00, this flexible bandwidth capability is extended further with minimum and
maximum bandwidth settings configurable from within the Virtual Connect management interface.
This allows you to prioritize certain types of traffic over other types if contention occurs as well as
insuring that certain networks have guaranteed bandwidth.
