A customer needs a Synergy solution using Image Streamer in a production environment. What is the minimum number of Synergy frames needed for this solution?

• C3
• D1

• A
  17% (8)
• B
  6% (3)
• C
  72% (34)
• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

Three frames (C) is the minimum for a production Image Streamer deployment because HPE Synergy's Image Streamer requires a high-availability pair of appliances in production - one active, one standby - and these must reside in separate frames to avoid a single point of failure. The third frame is required to provide actual compute capacity alongside the two management/Image Streamer frames, forming the minimum viable production topology.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• D (1 frame): A single frame can only host one Image Streamer appliance, which has no redundancy - acceptable only in lab/dev environments, not production.
• B (2 frames): Two frames can host the HA Image Streamer pair but leave no frame dedicated to compute workloads, which isn't a complete production solution.
• A (5 frames): There's no production requirement that sets the minimum at 5; that exceeds what's needed and confuses minimum with a larger recommended or scaled deployment.

Memory tip: Think "3-legged stool" - a production Image Streamer solution needs 3 frames to stand: Frame 1 (active Image Streamer), Frame 2 (standby Image Streamer), Frame 3 (compute). Two legs fall over (dev/test), three legs stand firm (production).
