QuestionQ39

Evaluate the customer's environment

An HPE Partner observes the following statistics in a customer’s HPE GreenLake account while using HPE InfoSight:

  • Total savings ratio: 6:1
  • Snapshot/clone savings ratio: 2:1
  • Thin provisioning savings ratio: 3:1
  • Deduplication and compression savings ratio: 4:1

Based on these statistics, which ratio represents this customer’s true savings?

Explanation

The total savings ratio is the overall capacity-savings ratio. It combines the effects of thin provisioning, compression, deduplication, cloning, snapshots, and related efficiency mechanisms; the other ratios measure only individual categories of savings. Thus, the overall 6:1 ratio is the customer’s true savings.
