Correct Answer: D

Challenges in Enterprise Data Protection Requirements for a modern Enterprise Data Protection solution have many drivers:

*

Exponential growth of data Shrinking backup windows

*

The need to design, plan and integrate a comprehensive Disaster Recovery capability

*

The need for backup devices to be more available than ever before

The HP B6200 StoreOnce Backup System responds to all these requirements by providing:

*

Deduplication to drive more efficient storage of data

*

Large device scalability to ensure every backup has access to devices and, so, reduce queuing time

*

(D) In-built low bandwidth replication for cost-effective copies of data offsite as part of a Disaster Recovery plan

*

HP Autonomic failover (with appropriate ISV software) to allow backups to continue, even if a node in an HP B6200 StoreOnce Backup System fails.

*

High scalability in terms of capacity, performance and replication to ensure the system grows as your business grows.

Correct Answer: A

Deduplication Optimization HP created a highly-optimized deduplication approach that introduces time- and space-saving techniques. With the goal of eliminating the maximum amount of redundancy in its data inspection, while also maintaining a small index to deliver the fastest performance, the company focused on two components of its deduplication approach: an average variable chunk size of 4K, and a sparse index. HP's Adaptive Micro-Chunking uses variable-length data segments or chunks. The backup stream is broken down into approximately 4K variable-length segments that are examined for redundancy versus previously stored information. Smaller segments means there are more chunks and index comparisons, which also means a higher potential to locate and eliminate redundancy (and produce higher reduction ratios). Comparative solutions use block sizes that range from 8K to 32K. The tradeoff with small chunk sizes is a greater number of index look-ups--which could mean slower deduplication performance. However, HP Labs developed HP Predictive Acceleration technology to maintain performance and reduce RAM requirements. By using a subset of key values stored in memory, StoreOnce determines a small number of sequences already stored on disk that are similar to any given input sequence--what HP refers to as sparse indexing. Then each input sequence is only deduplicated against those few sequences. This minimizes disk IO and uses less disk and little memory, creating more efficiency and enabling faster ingest and, importantly, restoration of data. HP's approach accelerates reads/writes, and delivers rapid ingest rates of up to 28 TB/hour. Predictive Acceleration has enabled HP to require up to 50% less RAM than comparable solutions.

B: Recreation of the AO configuration on the nodes is a manual process. There is no automated means of transferring AO configurations from System Reporter onto the HP 3PAR OS 3.1.2 system.

C: AO behavior continues unchanged for HP 3PAR OS 3.1.1 and earlier. For HP 3PAR OS 3.1.2 systems, Adaptive Optimization behaves as follows:

*

AO configurations for HP 3PAR OS systems are allowed insofar as they are not deleted following an upgrade from HP 3PAR OS 3.1.1. However, these AO configurations are not executed by regionmover and are marked as inactive.

*

Following an upgrade from HP 3PAR OS 3.1.1, AO configurations remain and can be used by administrators as a reference to recreate the AO configurations on the nodes.

Correct Answer: A

HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric interconnects pair with HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port onboard or mezzanine based adapters and provide FlexNIC functionality with Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) capable of either iSCSI, FCoE or native Fibre Channel storage protocols. With Virtual Connect 4.00, this flexible bandwidth capability is extended further with minimum and maximum bandwidth settings configurable from within the Virtual Connect management interface. This allows you to prioritize certain types of traffic over other types if contention occurs as well as insuring that certain networks have guaranteed bandwidth.

With autonomic management, you can:

*

Meet service level changes without dropping what you're doing. Policy-driven, autonomic storage tiering balances cost and performance automatically, intelligently and without manual intervention.

*

Make tedious administration tasks a thing of the past. Eliminate up to 90% of the time that you currently spend doing tedious, manual storage administration tasks. 1 Eliminate array planning; provision just once for the lifetime of an

application; simplify change management; and minimize the potential for human error.

*

Forget about performance and capacity utilization monitoring. Autonomic storage reporting tools detect and resolve performance and utilization issues before they become problems.

*

Eliminate failed backups.

HP Autonomic Restart removes any single point of failure with autonomic error detection and failover.

*

Free stranded capacity to maximize storage hardware investments. Thin reclamation identifies free but unused space on an ongoing basis to keep utilization rates high over time without manual intervention.

Incorrect:

Not C: Tiered storage is the assignment of different categories of data to different types of storage media in order to reduce total storage cost. Categories may be based on levels of protection needed, performance requirements, frequency of

use, and other considerations. Since assigning data to particular media may be an ongoing and complex activity, some vendors provide software for automatically managing the process based on a company-defined policy.
