QuestionQ20

Design HPE solutions with a focus on AI and HPC workloads

What is one reason to recommend deploying VMware vSAN OSA instead of ESA?

  • A The customer wants to use features such as compression, which are not supported with ESA.
  • B The customer wants to create a vSAN cluster that provides storage for other clusters but does not host VMs.
  • C The customer wants a cost-effective solution that incorporates HDDs.
  • D The customer prioritizes obtaining the highest write performance.
Explanation

vSAN OSA supports hybrid disk groups that use HDDs as capacity devices with flash cache devices. ESA requires an all-flash NVMe configuration, so an HDD-based, cost-effective design requires OSA.
