HPE Edge-to-Cloud Solutions — Question 5

A customer asks you about the features of the HPE SimpliVity, such as performance, availability, efficiency, and protection.
Which statement is correct about an HPE SimpliVity solution that enables these features?

Answer options

• A. The OmniStack Accelerator Card (OAC) contains a FPGA programmed with HPE SimpliVity deduplication, compression, and optimization algorithms.
• B. The OmniStack Accelerator Card (OAC) connects directly to the iSCSI VIP address enabled by the OVC.
• C. The OmniStack Accelerator Card (OAC) has direct hardware access to the two PCIe cards through VM direct path IO.
• D. The OmniStack Virtual Controller(OVC) creates an iSCSI datastore where the hypervisor stores the workload VMs.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the OmniStack Accelerator Card (OAC) is specifically designed to enhance performance through deduplication, compression, and optimization, which are critical features of HPE SimpliVity. Options B, C, and D describe different aspects of the system but do not directly address the key features that the OAC provides.
