A customer needs a VDI solution. The amount of compute per U of rack space will be a key point in their solution selection. Which HPE product would be an ideal solution as part of your RFP response?

Question

Options

• AHPE Apollo 4510 Gen10
• BHPE Apollo 4200 Gen9
• CHPE SY480 Gen10
• DHPE DL580 Gen10

• A
  81% (22)
• B
  11% (3)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Note: The stated correct answer here (A - HPE Apollo 4510 Gen10) appears to conflict with standard HPE product positioning. The Apollo 4510 Gen10 is primarily a storage-dense server (up to 60 LFF drives in 4U), not a compute-dense platform. For VDI workloads requiring maximum compute per U, the HPE Synergy SY480 Gen10 (Option C) is the conventionally recommended solution - a half-width blade compute module that fits up to 12 nodes in a 10U Synergy 12000 frame, delivering exceptional compute density ideal for VDI.

Here's why each option is typically evaluated:

• A (Apollo 4510 Gen10): Storage-optimized; high drive capacity per U, not compute capacity. Unusual choice for VDI density unless your exam source has a specific context.
• B (Apollo 4200 Gen9): Gen9 (older generation), also storage/HPC-oriented - eliminated by both age and purpose.
• C (SY480 Gen10): Synergy compute module; highest compute density per U in HPE's portfolio, commonly cited for VDI in HPE sales/certification materials.
• D (DL580 Gen10): 4-socket powerhouse in 4U - great per-server performance, but poor compute-per-U ratio.

Memory tip: If your exam source marks A as correct, double-check the study guide - many HPE certification prep materials have version discrepancies. For real-world or most HP exam contexts, Synergy = compute density for VDI.
