HPE Edge-to-Cloud Solutions — Question 47

You need to architect a SQL Database consolidation solution, based on the HPE reference architecture for SQL 2017. The customer is moving from Oracle on
Linux and wants to stay on Linux and migrate to a lower-cost solution.
Which server should you recommend?

Answer options

• A. HPE DL380 Gen10 running Red Hat Linux Server
• B. HPE DL560 Gen10 running Red Hat Linux Server
• C. HPE DL560 Gen10 running CentOS Linux Server
• D. HPE DL380 Gen10 running Microsoft Windows Server 2016

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the HPE DL380 Gen10 with Red Hat Linux Server aligns with the requirement for a SQL 2017 solution on Linux, ensuring compatibility and performance. Options B and C, while also Linux-based, do not meet the specific reference architecture for SQL 2017 as effectively as option A. Option D is incorrect as it runs Microsoft Windows Server, which does not fulfill the customer's need to stay on Linux.
