A customer needs a virtual desktop infrastructure environment to quickly deploy new desktop images to more than 70 onsite contractors. They plan to use HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 servers running VMware ESXi connected to a shared storage device. The customer requires deduplication because they are concerned about the required storage capacity for the full clone images.
Which storage device would best address their concerns?
A. HPE MSA 1040
B. HPE MSA 2052
C. HPE Nimble AF20
D. HPE Nimble HF20C
D is right .HPE Nimble Storage HF40C array and HF60C array provide higher effective capacity for workloads not requiring deduplication but HF20C does Inline variable block deduplication and compression for increased data reduction. It is geared towards capacity and deduplication.
C is correct. From Quickspecs of Nimble HF: https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/getdocument.aspx?docname=a00008274enw
” Deduplication currently supported on HF20H, HF20, HF40, and HF60; the HF20C, HF40C, and HF60C does not support dedupe and is capacity optimized to scale to over 1PB.”
the “C” is correct due to Nimble in varriant C is not using deduplication
