It is designed to deliver performance, security, and flexibility for diverse workloads such as virtualization, cloud computing, database, and AI/ML2. The HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 server supports up to 40 cores, 3.2 TB of memory, 10 NVMe drives, and 6 PCIe Gen4 slots2. It also features the HPE iLO 5 controller, HPE Smart Array controllers, HPE SmartMemory, and HPE Silicon Root of Trust for enhanced management, security, and reliability2.
The HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 server is a 2U, dual-processor server powered by the AMD EPYC 9004 Series processor with AMD 3D V-Cache technology3. It is designed to deliver high performance, security, and scalability for diverse workloads such as virtualization, cloud computing, data analytics, and AI
/ML3. The HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 server supports up to 128 cores, 8 TB of memory, 24 NVMe drives, and 16 PCIe Gen4 slots3. It also features the HPE iLO 5 controller, HPE Smart Array controllers, HPE SmartMemory, and HPE Silicon Root of Trust for enhanced management, security, and reliability3.

It is designed to deliver performance, security, and scalability for mission-critical workloads such as database, ERP, CRM, and AI/ML4. The HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen11 server supports up to
112 cores, 12 TB of memory, 12 NVMe drives, and 12 PCIe Gen4 slots4. It also features the HPE iLO 5 controller, HPE Smart Array controllers, HPE SmartMemory with Persistent Memory support (up to 6 TB), and HPE Silicon Root of Trust for enhanced management, security, and reliability4.
Therefore, if the customer has standardized on the AMD platform and asks for a new 1U server, the best option would be the HPE ProLiant DL365 Gen11 server, which offers the highest core count (64), memory capacity (4 TB), and NVMe drive support (12) among the single-processor servers powered by AMD EPYC processors. The other servers either use Intel processors or have a larger form factor (2U).
NO.25 Drag and Drop Question
Match the RAID level to the number of drive failures an array can handle without losing data.
(Each option may be used once, more than once, or not at all.)
Explanation:
RAID 1: This is a level of RAID that uses mirroring to create an exact copy of data on two or more disks. It can tolerate the failure of any single drive without losing data, as long as the other drive is still functional.
RAID 1 ADM: This is a level of RAID that uses advanced data mirroring to create two copies of data on three disks. It can tolerate the failure of any two drives without losing data, as long as the third drive is still functional.
RAID 5: This is a level of RAID that uses striping with parity to distribute data and parity information across three or more disks. It can tolerate the failure of any single drive without losing data, as long as the other drives can reconstruct the data from the parity information.
RAID 6: This is a level of RAID that uses striping with double parity to distribute data and two sets of parity information across four or more disks. It can tolerate the failure of any two drives without losing data, as long as the other drives can reconstruct the data from the double parity information.

NO.29 Your customer needs to accelerate the performance Of theirDL380 Gen10 servers running workloads on more active cores athigher Clockfrequencies. The customer wants to know if Core Boosting willhelp.
What advice Should you provide?
Explanation
Core Boosting technology uses a relaxed and optimized turbo profile that adapts the processor to specific use cases, configurations, and environments. Core Boosting processors take advantage of extra server power and thermal headroom provided by an innovative HPE voltage regulator design and by cooling technologies.
Consequently, systems that have Core Boosting processors can alleviate common setbacks and maximize processor computing power.
However, Core Boosting option is only supported in ProLiant Gen10 servers with certain Intel processors1
. The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 server data sheet lists the supported processors for Core Boosting as:
* Intel Xeon Gold 6148 Processor (20 core, 2.4 GHz, 27.5 MB L3 cache)
* Intel Xeon Gold 6154 Processor (18 core, 3.0 GHz, 24.75 MB L3 cache)
* Intel Xeon Gold 6152 Processor (22 core, 2.1 GHz, 30.25 MB L3 cache)
* Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 Processor (24 core, 2.7 GHz, 33 MB L3 cache) Therefore, if your customer’s DL380 Gen10 servers are running workloads on more active cores at higher clock frequencies, they can benefit from Core Boosting technology if they have one of these supported Intel processors.
NO.31 Match the correct scaling approach to each strategy
Explanation:
Scale-out: Add more servers to do the workload
Scale-up: Add more resources (such as processors and memory) to existing servers Scale-out: Add an additional two-socket system to an existing VMware Cluster Scale-up: Add two additional processors to a four-socket system currently equipped with only two processors This is because:
Scale-out: This is a scaling approach that involves adding more servers or nodes to a system to increase its capacity and performance. It is also known as horizontal scaling. It can help distribute the workload across multiple servers and improve availability and fault tolerance.
Scale-up: This is a scaling approach that involves adding more resources (such as processors, memory, storage or network) to an existing server or node to increase its capacity and performance. It is also known as vertical scaling. It can help improve the performance of a single server and reduce the complexity of managing multiple servers.
NO.33 Match the HPE server models With the appropriate specification.
Explanation:
The DL20 Gen10 Plus is a flexible and affordable 15″ deep server supporting the latest Intel XEON E processors12.
The DL180 Gen10 is a secure and cost effective IP 2U server delivering flexible storage capacity, delivering a high core count, and a large memory footprint12.
