A customer needs a shared storage solution for a virtualization platform that will host a database application. The customer is considering an HPE Nimble array.
Which feature would lead you to propose an HPE Nimble AF40 over an HPE 3PAR All Flash array?
HPE Infosight for predictive analytics is a distinctive feature of HPE Nimble arrays that can predict and prevent issues across the entire infrastructure stack. This differentiates it from the HPE 3PAR All Flash array, making it a strong reason to propose an HPE Nimble AF40 over the HPE 3PAR All Flash array. While other features like Fibre Channel Connectivity, 10Gb iSCSI support, and predictable performance with one failed controller are shared or less distinguishing, the predictive analytics capabilities offered by Infosight provide significant operational benefits, leading to improved performance and reliability.
D, Infosight is available for both platforms
Thanks, its correct
If the primary controller fails, or if a firmware upgrade is scheduled, a failover occurs. At failover, the second controller becomes the active one, and client operations continue undisturbed. This approach delivers zero performance degradation, even with one controller down. Together with Triple+ RAID and Cascade Multistage Checksums, reliable active-standby controller failover makes HPE Nimble Storage systems safe and dependable for even the most critical workloads.
Because if it is the correct one, it is D. Do they change it?
I choose D. because of Nimble controller running Active/passive !
