Explanation

HPE SimpliVity 380 is the right fit because it's a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution that bundles compute, storage, and networking into a single, easy-to-manage appliance with built-in backup and disaster recovery - purpose-built for remote/branch offices that lack on-site IT staff. Its centralized management and automatic data protection meet all three stated needs: significant compute, simple management, and affordable DR.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. HPE ConvergedSystem 300 - A converged infrastructure platform designed for data centers with skilled IT staff; it's more complex and not optimized for unstaffed remote sites.
• C. HPE StoreOnce 5100 - A dedicated backup/deduplication appliance; it provides storage protection but no compute resources, so it can't run workloads.
• D. HPE Serviceguard for Linux - A high-availability clustering software solution requiring Linux expertise and hands-on administration, the opposite of "no local IT staff."

Memory tip: The name "SimpliVity" signals simplicity - when an exam question says "no IT staff + simple management + DR," that's the HCI hint. HCI = everything in one box = no specialist needed.
