Scenario 3:

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 exponentiaily, 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 compiaints about storage system availabiiity.

increase support for sophisticated design and manufacturing

applications.

Provide a robust repication capability between data centers.

increase storage utilzation while depioying additional capacity.

Simplify operatons 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. The company has asked that you create multiple solution proposals and prioritize one when you return for a presentation. Refer to the scenario. In addition to thin technology. Which storage technology should you present to help meet business benefit goals?

Accepted Answer

C. storage federation technology Storage federation technology allows multiple disparate storage systems, potentially across two data centers, to be managed as a single, unified pool of resources. This enables increased aggregated performance and capacity, seamless data migration for load balancing, and enhanced data availability across sites, directly addressing the need for high-performance infrastructure and business disruption elimination.

Answer

A. storage tiering technology Storage tiering technology optimizes data placement within a storage system based on access patterns for performance and cost, but it does not inherently combine or manage storage capacity and performance across multiple separate data centers to form a unified pool.

Answer

B. snapshot technology Snapshot technology creates point-in-time copies of data for recovery, which aids in data protection but does not address the need to increase overall storage performance and capacity across two data centers or unify their management.

Answer

D. remote replication technology Remote replication technology copies data between data centers for disaster recovery, which protects data and aids business continuity, but it typically maintains separate storage environments rather than creating a federated, unified storage pool that aggregates performance and capacity.
