The correct answer is A. HP MSA. The HP MSA (Modular Smart Array) solution is ideal for this customer's needs because it is cost-effective, supports block-level access with Fibre Channel, provides replication capabilities, and fits the constraint of very little rack space with its compact form factor.
Question
Your customer asks you to assist in designing a new cost-effective storage solution. The solution will be used to store archive data. It must be able to replicate a point-in-time copy of data at the primary site to a remote site. The solution must provide block-level access and support for FC. There is very little rack space available at the primary site. Which solution meets the customer requirements?
Options
- AHP MSA
- BHP 3PAR StoreServ

Why each option
The HP MSA (Modular Smart Array) solution is ideal for this customer's needs because it is cost-effective, supports block-level access with Fibre Channel, provides replication capabilities, and fits the constraint of very little rack space with its compact form factor.
HP MSA arrays are entry-to-mid-range, cost-effective storage solutions that natively support Fibre Channel for block-level access, provide snapshot-based replication, and come in compact form factors, perfectly addressing the requirements for archive data, remote replication, and limited rack space.
HP 3PAR StoreServ arrays are high-end, enterprise-class systems, making them generally not 'cost-effective' for archive data and typically requiring more rack space than specified.
HP StoreVirtual is primarily an iSCSI-based software-defined storage solution, which does not natively align with the explicit requirement for Fibre Channel support, and while flexible, a dedicated compact FC SAN might be a better fit for the rack space constraint.
HP EVA (Enterprise Virtual Array) is an older, mid-range to high-end storage platform that is not considered 'cost-effective' for new archive solutions compared to modern entry-level offerings and typically requires more rack space.
