The customer is also concerned about availability.

Which type of SAN topology should you recommend?

A. cascaded fabric

B. meshed fabric

C. core-edge fabric

D. single-switch fabric

A customer is concerned about the business risks of non-compliance for long-term data protection, retention, immutability, and encryption on petabytes of data consisting of millions of objects in a global namespace across multiple geographic locations.

A. HPE StoreOnce Systems

B. HPE Complete Veeam

C. HPE Complete iTernity iCAS

D. HPE Scality RING on HPE Apollo Servers

E. HPE 3PAR StoreServ 9000

A customer wants to expand his cascaded B-series based SAN but is concerned about latencies within the SAN backend. You recommend changing the topology to a full mesh.

Which switch feature will ensure that the latencies in the backend are at the lowest possible level?

A. LACP

B. NPIV

C. FSPF

D. VSF

A customer currently has a CS1000H and wants to upgrade to a CS3000.

What must be considered before upgrading?

B. A capacity upgrade to a fully populated array has to be performed first.

C. Timeless storage support is not offered for SC1000H entry-level systems.

D. A controller upgrade to a CS1000F has to be performed first.

Users are complaining about poor performance with their Data Warehouse application.

What is an effective solution to increase their performance at minimal cost?

A. HPE 3PAR Adaptive Flash Cache

B. HPE 3PAR Priority Optimization

C. HPE 3PAR Dynamic Optimization

D. HPE 3PAR Adaptive Optimization

Which feature enables a non-disruptive environment where host-based multi-pathing software is not affected in the event of a firmware upgrade?

A. HPE 3PAR Access Guard

B. HPE 3PAR Persistent Ports

C. HPE 3PAR Persistent Cache

D. HPE 3PAR MPIO

Refer to the exhibit:

Which type of data format do you expect in the red rectangle?
