A customer is learning about the performance enhancements of a new DL380 Gen10 system. How does this system help with performance problems?

Question

Options

• Aenables faster L4 cache on CPU
• Bprovides scalable persistent memory
• Cprovides compatibility with Intel Broadwell processors
• Deliminates the need for Service Level Agreements for Cloud services and VDI

• B
  92% (24)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Scalable Persistent Memory (NVDIMM/PMem) is a key performance feature of the DL380 Gen10, allowing it to address memory-bandwidth bottlenecks by offering high-capacity, high-speed persistent memory that bridges the gap between traditional DRAM and storage - directly tackling performance problems at scale.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is incorrect because L4 cache is not a feature introduced by the DL380 Gen10; standard CPU cache hierarchies top out at L3 in Intel Xeon processors.
• C is wrong because Broadwell is an older Intel processor generation - the Gen10 moved forward with Intel Xeon Scalable (Skylake/Cascade Lake), so Broadwell compatibility is a regression, not an enhancement.
• D is nonsensical - no hardware system eliminates the need for SLAs; SLAs are contractual/business agreements independent of server hardware.

Memory tip: Think "Gen10 = scalable everything" - scalable processors, scalable memory. The word scalable in option B mirrors HPE's own branding ("Intel Xeon Scalable"), making it the standout performance answer.
