Correct Answer:

HP AppSystem has pre-integrated technology stack including a specifically-optimized hardware configuration, factory pre-loaded OS and tailored consulting and HP Solution Support services. This solution delivers system performance and

reduces implementation from months to hours. (Study guide p.12) 40GB Blade networking connections HP provides 40GB downlinks on blade servers, to deliver very fast, near-real time, performance, ideal for high performance clusters or

financial services applications. (Study guide p.18)

HP 3PAR Thin Persistence software, and other thin-reclamation solutions, enables thin-provisioned storage on HP 3PAR StoreServ arrays to stay thin over time by ensuring that unused capacity is reclaimed for use by the array on an ongoing basis. (Study guide p.15)

HP Memristor (Study guide p.15)

Memristor devices are intended for applications in nanoelectronic memories and computer logic, as a replacement for Flash, SSD, and DRAM. The device provides a more efficient form of memory that can retain its information even when it

loses power.

It will significantly outperform flash memory, holding its memory longer. It is simpler, easier to make, which means it's cheaper, and it can be switched a lot faster, with less energy.

Traditional IT Infrastructure: (Study guide p.22)

Dedicated technology silos and lots of components created for peak capacity to meet each individual need

Compartmentalized with few standards that crossed multiple silos

Often requiring dedicated power, cooling, management and support in order to upgrade

Cost of maintenance continues to increase, while adding more complexity and reducing time spent on innovation

Correct Answer: D

Correct Answer: C

Economic buyer Often the President or the CEO. They're motivated by the big picture. They want to know how this purchase will give them a competitive advantage, make more money, or cut costs for the company.
