A small-business customer plans to implement an HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200. What must the customer consider regarding large, unexpected data growth?

The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200 is architected as a fixed two-controller-node system and does not support the addition of more controller nodes, unlike the StoreServ 7400 which can scale to four controller nodes. For a small business facing large, unexpected data growth, this architectural ceiling means I/O throughput and compute cannot be increased by adding controllers. Customers who anticipate needing controller-level scale-out must consider the StoreServ 7400 platform from the outset.

The HP StoreServ 7200 does include HBA expansion slots, so the absence of HBA expansion is not an accurate or documented constraint for this platform.

Adaptive Optimization continuously tiers data based on access patterns and is not documented to suffer a general performance impact specifically due to large data volumes.

The four-drive-chassis statement does not accurately reflect a documented configuration restriction of the HP StoreServ 7200, making it an incorrect consideration.
