The HPE storage platform that should be included to complete the VDI solution is HPE Alletra 6000. This is because HPE Alletra 6000 is a high-performance, low-latency, and scalable storage array that can support the demanding workloads of VDI environments. HPE Alletra 6000 offers the following benefits for VDI solutions:
It delivers consistent sub-millisecond response times for thousands of concurrent users and virtual machines, ensuring a smooth and responsive user experience 1 2 .
It provides flexible connectivity options, including iSCSI and FC, that can integrate with HPE Synergy compute modules and HPE Virtual Connect technology 1 3 .
It supports VMware vVols, which simplifies storage management and provisioning, enables granular data protection and quality of service, and optimizes storage utilization for VDI deployments 1 4 .
It leverages HPE InfoSight, an AI-powered platform that provides predictive analytics, proactive recommendations, and automated actions to prevent issues, optimize performance, and reduce costs for VDI environments 1 5 .
The other options are not suitable for the VDI solution because:
B. HPE StoreEasy is a file and application storage solution that is designed for small and medium businesses, branch offices, and workgroups. It is not optimized for high-performance, low-latency, and scalable VDI workloads 6 .
C. HPE Qumulo is a file data platform that is designed for unstructured data, such as media and entertainment, life sciences, and research. It is not optimized for high-performance, low-latency, and scalable VDI workloads 7 .
D. HPE SimpliVity is a hyperconverged infrastructure solution that combines compute, storage, and networking in a single appliance. It is not compatible with HPE Synergy compute modules, which are blade servers that require a separate storage array 8 .
