Accepted Answer

The HPE Apollo 4510 is designed for high storage density, making it suitable for achieving over 5PB per server cabinet, which aligns with the customer's storage density goal.

Question 9

A customer needs to boot from PXE with IPv6 across the Gen10 servers. Which option must be enabled to use this feature?

Accepted Answer

UEFI Boot with IPv6 enabled is necessary for booting from PXE with IPv6, as it supports the required network protocols and configurations for IPv6 PXE booting.

Question 10

You are configuring a new server for a customer. The customer has given you the following information regarding their environment: 2 processors with 22 cores 256GB RAM 600GB of usable internal storage 10GB network, dual connections iLO Advanced 3 years of 7x24 basic support Which additional information do you need to determine the best option for internal storage?

Accepted Answer

Understanding if the application workload is sensitive to I/O latency will help determine the best option for internal storage, as it will influence the choice of storage technology (e.g., SSD vs. HDD) to meet performance requirements.

Question 11

Your customer is on the verge of spending $1,2M on a new HPE Synergy 120000 deployment for the ERP system. Over the next three years they expect to see $600,000 per year in earnings. What would the ROI be for the given purchase?
