Question #12
Refer to the exhibit of Zerto Vault architecture.
Which statement about the Zerto Vault architecture is correct?
- A . Data is replicated via encrypted periodic replication between Production and the Replication Target.
- B . Data is replicated via encrypted periodic replication between the Replication Target and the Vault.
- C . The Resilience Automation Server manages port access between Production and the Replication Target.
- D . Immutable snapshots of all Zerto components are taken at the Replication Target and replicated to the Vault.
Correct Answer: B
B
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer
In the Zerto Vault architecture, production workloads replicate continuously to a Replication Target (secondary site). From there, data is further replicated periodically and encrypted into the Vault (air-gapped, isolated site). This two-step process ensures ransomware resilience and immutability, as the Vault acts as a hardened third copy.
Distractors:
A: Production-to-replication target traffic is continuous synchronous/asynchronous replication, not periodic. Periodic replication applies to Replication Target → Vault.
C: The Resilience Automation Server (RAS) is responsible for orchestrating failover and immutability enforcement, but it does not control port access between production and replication target.
D: Snapshots of Zerto components are not what is replicated ― it’s application data VMs/volumes. The Vault ensures immutability of replicated data, not ZVM components.
Key Concept: Zerto Vault = encrypted, periodic replication from replication target to immutable vault.

Question #13
Select the scenario where implementing FCoE would be an appropriate solution.
- A . A large enterprise data center with existing Fibre Channel SANs is looking to reduce hardware complexity and costs by consolidating their storage and production networks onto a single infrastructure, while maintaining high performance for mission-critical applications.
- B . A corporation needs to replicate data between data centers in different countries. The data must be synchronized in real-time across a WAN, and the solution must tolerate variable network conditions with minimal impact on performance.
- C . A company with data centers in different states wants to establish a unified SAN infrastructure. The goal is to centralize storage management across all sites, using a single protocol that can efficiently handle high-latency, long-distance connections between data centers.
- D . A tech startup is developing an AI-based application that relies heavily on machine learning models. The team needs a solution that allows them to access and process large datasets in the cloud.
Correct Answer: A
A
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer
Option A is correct because Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is designed for large enterprise environments that already have Fibre Channel (FC) infrastructures but want to simplify cabling and reduce hardware by converging LAN and SAN traffic over a single Ethernet fabric. FCoE retains the efficiency, low latency, and reliability of Fibre Channel while leveraging Ethernet to minimize physical infrastructure costs. This aligns with HPE’s best practices for environments using HPE Alletra 9000/Primera or HPE Nimble arrays connected to converged networks where cost reduction and high performance are equally important.
Analysis of Incorrect Options (Distractors):
B: Real-time replication across WANs requires protocols like HPE 3PAR/Alletra Remote Copy, asynchronous/synchronous replication, or HPE Peer Persistence. FCoE is not suited for high-latency WANs because it is a LAN protocol designed for short distances within a data center.
C: For inter-data center SAN unification, FCIP (Fibre Channel over IP) or iSCSI are more suitable. FCoE does not handle long-distance high-latency links effectively.
D: A startup building AI applications with cloud workloads typically benefits from object storage (HPE Scality RING, HPE GreenLake for File and Object) or direct cloud-native APIs (S3/Blob). FCoE is irrelevant in this use case since it is on-prem and infrastructure-focused.
Key Concept:
The question is testing knowledge of FCoE and its appropriate deployment scenarios ― specifically, its role in consolidating storage and network traffic inside enterprise data centers while preserving Fibre Channel protocol advantages.

Question #14
You are working with a customer to upgrade their current VMware infrastructure. The hardware is outdated, and the customer has no information about performance requirements for the new servers and storage array. You are using HPE CloudPhysics to run an assessment.
Which Card Deck will give you insights on the under- and overprovisioning of the current environment?
- A . Storage Space Management
- B . Reclaimable VMware vDisk Space
- C . Simulator for VM Rightsizing
- D . Infrastructure Planning
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer
The Simulator for VM Rightsizing Card Deck in HPE CloudPhysics evaluates actual VM utilization against provisioned resources. It identifies under- and overprovisioned VMs, providing insights into reclaimable resources and accurate sizing recommendations. This directly helps plan server and storage upgrades.
Distractors:
A: Storage Space Management focuses on datastore usage trends, not provisioning mismatches.
B: Reclaimable VMware vDisk Space identifies unused storage, not CPU/RAM sizing.
D: Infrastructure Planning helps plan new builds but doesn’t directly analyze current over/under provisioning.
Key Concept: VM Rightsizing = CloudPhysics tool for over/under provisioning analysis.
