Free HPE0-S22: Architecting Advanced HPE Server Solutions Exam Questions and Answers

Match each customer requirement to the HPE platform that is the BEST fit. Each platform is used once, and one platform is not used. Targets: Target 1: A hosting provider needs thousands of low-power, single-purpose web servers per rack that share chassis power, cooling and networking. Target 2: A media company is building an object storage tier and Hadoop data lake that needs 28 large-form-factor drives in a 2U server. Target 3: A software company wants one infrastructure on which resources are composed by software for both traditional and DevOps-style applications. Target 4: A telecom billing group must keep a mission-critical HP-UX application running with the highest RAS features and hard partitioning. Items: Item A: HPE Synergy 12000 Frame Item B: HPE Integrity Superdome 2 Item C: HPE Apollo 4200 Gen9 Item D: HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen9 Item E: HPE Moonshot System

A manufacturing company is evaluating two proposals to replace its aging servers. Proposal A costs $600,000 and is expected to reduce annual power, maintenance and administration costs by a total of $220,000. Proposal B costs $450,000 and is expected to reduce those costs by $140,000 per year. The CFO will approve only an investment that pays back within 3 years. Which statement is correct?

• AA. Proposal B only meets the requirement, with a payback of about 3.2 years
• BB. Neither proposal meets the requirement, because both paybacks exceed 3 years
• CC. Both proposals meet the requirement, with paybacks of about 2.7 and 3.2 years
• DD. Proposal A only meets the requirement, with a payback of about 2.7 years

A customer is comparing the 3-year total cost of ownership for 20 new servers. Each server costs $8,500. Power and cooling is estimated at $250 per server per year, and support is $900 per server per year. Which is the 3-year TCO for the 20 servers?

• AA. $170,000
• BB. $193,000
• CC. $239,000
• DD. $262,000

Match each description to the technology it describes. Each item is used once, and one item is not used. Targets: Target 1: Isolates a hardware fault in one workload from other workloads on the same system without relying on a hypervisor. Target 2: Uses solid-state drives in the server to accelerate read and write access to volumes built on hard drives. Target 3: Describes a processor reaching DIMMs attached to another processor over the interconnect at higher latency. Target 4: Presents one physical network adapter port as several independent functions with dedicated bandwidth. Items: Item A: Online spare memory Item B: Remote NUMA memory access Item C: Smart Array SmartCache Item D: nPartitions Item E: FlexNIC

A regional insurer runs its claims system on HP-UX 11i v3 with an Oracle database on aging Integrity servers. The application vendor certifies the software only on HP-UX and Itanium, and the source code is not available for recompiling. The CIO wants mission-critical availability with hardware partitioning and room to grow the database well beyond current capacity over the next five years. Which solution should the architect recommend?

• AA. HPE Superdome X running Red Hat Enterprise Linux with nPartitions
• BB. HPE Synergy 480 Gen9 compute modules running vSphere with HA enabled
• CC. HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 servers clustered with Serviceguard for Linux
• DD. HPE Integrity Superdome 2 running HP-UX 11i v3 with nPartitions

A customer has an installed base of 2,400 servers and replaces them evenly on a four-year refresh cycle. Next year the customer will move 25% of the workloads scheduled for refresh to public cloud and buy replacement servers for the rest. How many replacement servers will the customer buy next year?

• AA. 150
• BB. 450
• CC. 600
• DD. 1,800

A manufacturer is consolidating about 300 virtual machines onto a small number of hosts running a standard x86 hypervisor. Each host needs four sockets and about 2 TB of memory. The customer does not require hardware partitioning or fault isolation between partitions, and its main concern is keeping acquisition cost low while using standard x86 operating systems. Which server should you position?

• AA. HPE Integrity Superdome X
• BB. HPE Integrity Superdome 2
• CC. HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9
• DD. HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen9

A customer plans to consolidate 40 aging servers onto 8 new servers. The new hardware costs $216,000 and one-time migration services cost $36,000. Annual savings are expected to be $42,000 in software licensing, $14,000 in power and cooling, and $28,000 in support contracts. The CFO asks for the simple payback period of the whole project. What is it?

• AA. 2.6 years
• BB. 3.0 years
• CC. 3.5 years
• DD. 4.0 years

A customer operates 120 HPE Synergy compute modules that run a stateless web tier. Patching the operating system currently takes days because each node is rebuilt individually. The customer wants to update one tested OS image and have all modules boot from it within minutes, with no local operating system storage on the modules. Which solution meets this requirement?

• AA. A Service Pack for ProLiant baseline attached to each server profile
• BB. Scripted installs using iLO virtual media mounted on every module in turn
• CC. HPE Synergy Image Streamer with deployment plans built on a golden image
• DD. Intelligent Provisioning run from the iLO console of each compute module

A customer's database is limited by the latency of transaction log writes. The architect proposes HPE NVDIMM-N persistent memory in a ProLiant server. Which two statements describe NVDIMM-N? (Choose two.)

Select 2 answers.

• AA. It provides several times the capacity of a same-size DRAM DIMM at a much lower cost per GB
• BB. It pairs DRAM with on-module flash and backup power so data is saved when power is lost
• CC. It appears to the operating system only as block storage through a PCIe controller
• DD. It is accessed at memory-bus speed and is byte-addressable by the application
