A leading automotive technology company wants to increase the performance and capacity of the storage infrastructure that supports the design and manufacture of its line of Formula 1 racing cars. The company is also interested in safe-guarding its mission-critical data and eliminating the threat of business disruption.

Due to the massive engineering and technical effort required to create a new race car design and to enable regular delivery of upgraded parts to the race track while maintaining a competitive edge, it is necessary to have advanced applications running on a high-performance IT infrastructure. The company operates out of two data centers. The centers support a Plant Lifecycle Management database, an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, and various trackside systems to set up the race car and aid race strategy. In addition, the centers run applications for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) packages.
The company has deployed Oracle and SQL databases, VMware virtual machines, email, and all other applications on an HP 6400 Enterprise virtual Array (EVA).
The EVAs automatically replicate between the two data centers to guard against failure. The EVAs are aging, applications are more sophisticated, data volumes have grown exponentially, and bottlenecks in the storage system are now having a significant effect on the performance of the simulation and analysis tools that are vital to the company's competitive position. The data storage problem has reached a point where the company is forced to store primary data at the secondary site causing the loss of their disaster recovery capability.
The company's top five IT Improvement goo's are:
- Reduce complaints about storage system availability.
- increase support for sophisticated design and manufacturing applications.
- Provide a robust replication capability between data centers.
- increase storage utilization while deploying additional capacity.
- Simplify operations during peak workloads.
Moreover, the company's top three business benefit goals are:
- Ensure rapid data retrieval to aid in quick decision making.
- Protect mission-critical data and ensure business continuity.
- Recover costs from existing infrastructure, thus providing increased IT funds for additional projects.

Which storage technologies should you present to help meet business benefit goals? (Select two)

You propose an HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage solution to your customer. The customer wants to know what sets this solution apart from the competition and why they should purchase it.

What are unique features of an HP 3PAR StoreServ compared to competitor block-based arrays? (Select two)

You are designing an HP SPAR StoreServ solution to host a customer Microsoft Hyper-V 2012 environment load on the transport network?

A large publicity-traded motion picture exhibitor that is a leader In digital and 3D cinema deployments operates 233 theaters and more than 2,200 screens in small to mid-sized communities in 35 states around United States. They rely on MS Exchange Server 2010 for email, MS SQL. Server 2010 for analyzing data about movies and theater-goers, and MS Excel 2010 for crunching numbers.

The company runs nightly incremental backups and a full weekly backup that consists of close to 7TB of data which takes up 72 hours to complete. The quarterly backups add an additional 7 TB of data. Tapes are inventoried and transported from the main data center to the disaster recovery site 150 miles away. The process of transporting tape cartridges to and from the Disaster Recovery site requires hours of daily work.

The company currently relies on an aging robotic tape library and a process that takes the nightly backup tapes of site every morning. Additionally, the company keeps an inventory, and if a restore is necessary, they have to retrieve the tapes from the DR site and transport them to the main data center site. They have a 7 year data retention plan, and the tapes are expensive and not always reliable. Given the company's current system, if a full weekly backup fails over a weekend, the re-run could take p to 10 hours, even if just one job failed.

The company has deployed an virtualized server infrastructure which runs VmWare VSphere 5 on HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosures and BL460c servers interconnected with HP virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet modules as well as several HP ProLiant DL380 servers.

The company top four IT improvements goal are as follows:
- replacing the aging robotic tape library
- enabling replication of backed up data from the main data center to the disaster recovery site (150 miles)
- retaining more backup data in smaller disk space
- increasing efficiency, reliability and ease of System administration.

Moreover the company's top thee business benefit goals are as follows:
- increased confidence in disaster recovery
- Minimal disruption by backup during regular business hours
- improved management of external audits.

Refer to the scenario.
