Scenario:
Following the merger of two online entertainment companies, management is integrating the two distinct service systems that were individually built and optimized prior to the acquisition. Reducing IT costs is a major goal, but the company
also wants a system infrastructure that allows quick, flexible handling of the online content requests, and that is highly reliable and has excellent expandability. The newly merged company is expanding its web-based music entertainment
services by establishing a mobile content business model and launching a comprehensive community site that allows multiple consumers access to content in collaboration with PCs and cell phones. The multiple consumer web service
includes video files. which occupy 90% or more of the total capacity and require an average of 400 Mbps network bandwidth for content distribution. These files piece a heavy burden on the distribution system. and this has prompted the
company to consider a virtual server environment. They need to achieve this without lowering service quality.
Some of the additional business criteria identified in customer planning interviews includes:
?Twenty or more physical servers need to be integrate into just three units ?The storage environment, previously structured as individual server units, requires shifting to shared storage using a Storage Area Network (SAN)
?Increase the overall system reliability by consolidating the system environment. ?Not interested in direct-attached storage. Shared storage makes it possible to increase usage efficiency above that offered by direct-attached storage, and also
adds a cost advantage. ?Management of all storage, HBAs. and switches should be done from a GUI- based dashboard . ?Multiple solutions, prioritized with a recommendation
Refer to the scenario:
Which HP Switch meets the company business criteria?
A. HP SN6000C 8Gb Fibre Channel Switch
B. HP MDS 9124 Fabric Switch
C. HP 8/24 SAN Switch
D. HP 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch
