Your customer wants an on-premises storage solution to store backup data from their existing IT infrastructure in an efficient way. They want to use an existing physical host in their environment…

Explanation

HPE StoreOnce VSA (Virtual Storage Appliance) is correct because it's a software-defined version of StoreOnce that runs as a virtual machine on an existing physical host, making it ideal when the customer already has spare capacity on hardware they own - no new appliance purchase required.

Why the others are wrong:

• A. HPE StoreOnce 5260 is a dedicated physical appliance, meaning the customer would need to buy new hardware rather than reuse their existing host.
• B. HPE CloudBank is a cloud-tiering feature within the StoreOnce ecosystem for moving data to public cloud - not an on-premises deployment solution.
• C. HPE SimpliVity is a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) platform for compute and storage consolidation, not a backup storage solution for existing IT environments.

Memory tip: The "V" in VSA stands for Virtual - whenever the exam mentions reusing an existing host or avoiding new hardware costs, think "virtual = VSA." Physical appliance questions point to numbered StoreOnce models like the 5260.
