According to the information I found on the web, here is how you can match the preconfigured HPE
workload profile with its definition:
General power efficient compute: This is a default out-of-the-box profile that uses the most common
performance settings seen across most application workloads. It also enables power management
settings that have minimal impact to overall performance. This profile is recommended for
customers that do not typically tune their BIOS for their workload1.
IO throughput: This profile is intended for configurations that depend on maximum throughput

om
between IO and memory. It disables power management settings that are known to have impact on
maximum achievable bandwidth. It also applies settings that benefit NUMA awareness, as best
throughput is achieved when the workload is also NUMA aware and optimized1.

Answer:

Explanation:
RAID 60 with two parity groups: Capacity of four drives
RAID 50 with two parity groups: Capacity of four drives
RAID 10 with four drives: Capacity of two drives
RAID 1 ADM with three drives: Capacity of two drives
RAID 60 with two parity groups:
RAID 60 is a combination of RAID 6 and RAID 0. It uses double parity (RAID 6) for fault tolerance and
striping (RAID 0) for performance.
With two parity groups, it means there are two sets of RAID 6 arrays, and each set needs two parity
drives.
Therefore, the capacity overhead would be the equivalent of four drives used for parity.
RAID 50 with two parity groups:

om
RAID 50 is a combination of RAID 5 and RAID 0. It uses single parity (RAID 5) for fault tolerance and
striping (RAID 0) for performance.
With two parity groups, it means there are two sets of RAID 5 arrays, and each set needs one parity

.c
drive.
Therefore, the capacity overhead would be the equivalent of two drives, but considering both

om
groups, it would be four drives.
RAID 10 with four drives:
RAID 10 is a combination of RAID 1 and RAID 0. It mirrors data (RAID 1) and stripes it (RAID 0).

gd
For four drives, RAID 10 effectively uses two drives for data and two drives for mirrored copies.
Therefore, the capacity overhead is the equivalent of two drives.

in
RAID 1 ADM with three drives:

RAID 1 ADM (Advanced Data Mirroring) typically involves three drives where each piece of data is
mirrored across all three drives.

s:

required. Which RAID Level should you recommend?

tp

A. RAID 5
ht

B. RAID 6
C. RAID 0
D. RAID 1

Answer: C

Explanation:
RAID 0 is the best choice for maximizing disk capacity because it stripes data across all the drives in
the array, effectively combining their capacities into one larger, faster storage unit. Since RAID 0 does
not provide any redundancy or fault tolerance, it uses 100% of the disk space for storage, making it
the most efficient in terms of capacity utilization123.
However, its important to note that RAID 0 does not offer any protection against drive failures. If one
drive fails, all data on the RAID 0 array could be lost. Therefore, while RAID 0 maximizes disk capacity,
it should only be used when fault tolerance is not a concern, and data is backed up regularly or is
non-critical

members
s:

B. Retaining the zoning definition even when the device is moved to a different port or switch in the
tp

fabric
C. Zoning is auto-configured which makes the devices connected to the fabric plug-and-play
ht

D. Ease of configuration and the zoning definition remains intact even if an HBA or target controller is

er
The new application must have a web-based user interface (UI) that runs closer to end users.
Critical data must be kept on-premises for security, compliance, or performance reasons.
//c
Deployment Model Options:
Cloud Service On-Premises (A): This typically refers to running cloud-like services in an on-premises
s:

data center, which doesn't satisfy the requirement of running the UI closer to end users in the public
tp

cloud.
Hybrid Cloud (B): This model integrates both public cloud and on-premises resources, allowing the UI
ht

to run in the public cloud for proximity to end users, while critical data remains on-premises.
Public Cloud Only (C): This would mean hosting everything in the public cloud, which does not meet
the requirement of keeping critical data on-premises.
Traditional IT On-Premises Only (D): This would keep all components on-premises, not leveraging the
benefits of the public cloud for the web-based UI.
Why Hybrid Cloud (B) is the Best Fit:
Flexibility and Proximity: A hybrid cloud allows the deployment of the web-based UI in the public
cloud, ensuring low latency and high performance for end users.
Data Sovereignty and Compliance: Critical data can remain on-premises, satisfying security and
