Asking whether their application workload benefits from persistent memory is the most forward-looking question. The c7000 and Synergy systems both support enhanced security and servers with significant memory footprints, but Synergy offers advanced features like persistent memory that can provide substantial performance benefits for specific application workloads. This aligns with helping the customer prepare for future needs and technologies.
SAS connectivity in HPE Synergy systems is supported only in certain bays, specifically Interconnect Module bay 1 and 4. Hence, SAS connectivity can only be used in the first fabric, meaning it should not be utilized for any other type of connections. This makes option D the correct answer. This way, it ensures a clear understanding of the system's configuration limitations and prevents potential issues with using the SAS connectivity incorrectly.
