QuestionQ22

Data Protection Coursework

During a customer conversation, how should a Sales Engineer position the HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 paired with a Data Protection Accelerator (DPA) node relative to HPE's other data protection offerings?

  • A As a cost-focused backup appliance for small environments
  • B As a solution for large-scale backup and fast recovery workloads
  • C As a universal replacement for all StoreOnce systems
Explanation

The HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 with a Data Protection Accelerator node is built for enterprise-scale data protection: the DPA node performs high-speed, inline source-side deduplication and compression (leveraging StoreOnce Catalyst and Cloud Bank Storage technology) while offloading that processing from the Alletra MP X10000's controllers, and all-flash NVMe media combined with high-throughput links to disaggregated object storage deliver high backup ingest rates and fast recovery. This makes it suited for large-scale backup and fast recovery workloads rather than small, cost-sensitive deployments, and it complements rather than universally replaces existing StoreOnce systems, since StoreOnce technology is embedded in the DPA node and StoreOnce appliances continue to serve other segments of HPE's data protection portfolio.
