Question

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 sgnificant 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. Which feature of the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system used in the solution allows the customer to meet technical goals while reducing capital expenses?

Options

Why each option

To achieve high performance for advanced applications on a high-performance IT infrastructure, the HP 3PAR Gen3 ASIC per interface card is a critical architectural component that accelerates storage operations.

AHP 3PAR Gen3 ASIC per interface carCorrect

HP 3PAR StoreServ arrays incorporate Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), such as the Gen3 ASIC, embedded on interface cards to offload and accelerate core storage functions like RAID processing, thin provisioning, and data deduplication. This hardware acceleration significantly boosts the array's performance, reduces latency, and allows general-purpose CPUs to focus on other tasks, directly supporting a high-performance IT infrastructure.

Blarge capacity SATA NL drives

Large capacity SATA NL (Nearline) drives are primarily designed for cost-effective, high-capacity bulk storage and offer significantly lower performance compared to flash storage or high-performance SAS drives, making them unsuitable for a high-performance IT infrastructure.

Ccache extension via SSD drives

While cache extension via SSD drives can improve performance, the HP 3PAR Gen3 ASIC is a more fundamental and unique architectural element that provides system-wide performance acceleration beyond just caching, by offloading intensive data services.

DRCIP ports on each node

RCIP (Remote Copy over IP) ports are dedicated networking interfaces used for IP-based remote replication between storage arrays, contributing to disaster recovery and data protection, but they do not directly enhance the internal processing performance or capacity of the primary storage system itself.
