Question 10

A customer has a requirement to provide disaster recovery for an application. The application has an RPO of 30 mins, with an RTO of 15 mins. How can HPE 3PAR Remote Copy help meet the customer's specified requirements in the most cost effective manner?

Accepted Answer

Synchronous Replication provides the lowest RPO and RTO, meeting the customer's requirements.

Question 11

A customer has recently acquired another company that is located less than 3 km from their current main location. Both locations use HPE B-Series products in their storage environment. The customer needs to merge the 2 locations together while still using the current WAN and networking infrastructure at both locations. They need to keep their initial cost down until they are able to redesign both networking infrastructures. Which protocol should be incorporated when providing a proposal to meet the customer needs?

Question 13

A customer has two sites within a short distance. They require a primary storage solution which supports automatic failover for their block storage, SMB shares, and NFS home directories. Which HPE solution best fits the customer's requirements?

Accepted Answer

HPE 3PAR is a primary storage solution that supports automatic failover for block storage, SMB shares, and NFS home directories.

Question 14

A customer has three 4-node HPE 3PAR arrays. Two of the arrays are deployed at a primary site, and the third array is deployed at a disaster recovery site. Both arrays at the primary site are replicated to the single array at the disaster recovery site. All replication is asynchronous periodic. All arrays are utilizing 4 RCIP links for replication. The customer needs to add a third array at the primary site. They would like to use the existing array at the disaster recovery site as a replication target for this additional array. What must the architect consider to meet this customer requirement?

Accepted Answer

A single pair of RCIP ports on one array can have a Remote Copy relationship with up to two other arrays.

Question 15

You are designing an HPE 3PAR replication solution for a customer in a metropolitan area that includes two main sites and a third disaster recovery site. The main sites will be in synchronous replication. The disaster recovery site can be asynchronously replicated. What are two points you should highlight to the customer? (Select two.)
