Which values does the TCO Calculator provide? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer: B, D
The TCO Calculator is a tool that helps you compare the total cost of ownership (TCO) of different IT infrastructure solutions, such as on-premises, cloud, or hybrid.
The TCO Calculator provides two values that can help you evaluate the financial benefits of each solution: return on investment
(ROI) and net present value (NPV).
Return on investment (ROI) is a measure of the profitability of an investment, calculated as the ratio of the net income generated by the investment to the initial cost of the
investment. A higher ROI indicates a more profitable investment. The TCO Calculator estimates the ROI of each solution over a specified period of time, based on the
expected savings, costs, and revenues.
Net present value (NPV) is a measure of the present value of the future cash flows of an investment, discounted by a certain interest rate.
A positive NPV indicates that the investment is worth more than its initial cost. The TCO Calculator estimates the NPV of each solution over
a specified period of time, based on the expected savings, costs, revenues, and discount rate.
The TCO Calculator can help you compare the ROI and NPV of different IT infrastructure solutions and choose the one that best suits your business needs and goals.

Your customer acquired their Gen10 Plus servers through HPE GreenLake last year. They want to add HPE GreenLake for Block Storage to their GreenLake footprint.
They ask you for a quote, and you inform them that you can start this process through their HPE GreenLake Central instance via a
wizard-driven application.
What information do you need to gather for the wizard? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer: C, E
To add HPE GreenLake for Block Storage to an existing HPE GreenLake account, you need to provide some basic information to the wizard-driven application in HPE GreenLake Central. According to the HPE GreenLake for Block Storage Getting Started Guide 1 , you need to enter the following information:
Site contact info : This includes the name, email, and phone number of the person who will be the primary contact for the site where the block storage service will be deployed. This is required to ensure smooth communication and coordination between HPE and the customer.
Subscription term : This is the duration of the contract for the block storage service, which can range from 12 to 60 months. This is required to calculate the monthly billing and the minimum committed capacity for the service.
The other options are not required for the wizard. Reserved capacity is the amount of storage capacity that the customer wants to reserve for future use, which can be adjusted later. HPE customer ID is a unique identifier for the customer, which is already associated with the existing HPE GreenLake account. Datacenter address is the physical location of the datacenter where the block storage service will be deployed, which is already known to HPE from the previous HPE GreenLake service. References:

Your customer required a managed private cloud solution of which they can retain ownership for tax purposes.
Which delivery model should you recommend?
Correct Answer: B
A managed private cloud solution is one where the customer has a dedicated cloud environment that is managed by a third-party provider. The customer can benefit from the scalability, flexibility, and security of the cloud, without having to deal with the infrastructure management and maintenance. However, the customer may also have specific requirements for ownership and tax purposes, such as retaining the title of the assets or depreciating them over time. In this case, a traditional purchase or a custom HPE GreenLake solution may not be suitable, as they would either require the customer to pay upfront for the infrastructure or transfer the ownership to HPE. HPE GreenLake for VDI is also not a good option, as it is a specific solution for virtual desktops, not a general-purpose cloud platform.
The best option for the customer is to use HPE Financial Services lease with GreenLake management services. This option allows the customer to lease the infrastructure from HPE Financial Services, while HPE GreenLake provides the management and pay-per-use billing for the cloud services. The customer can retain the ownership of the assets at the end of the lease term, or renew the lease with updated technology. The customer can also take advantage of the tax benefits of leasing, such as deducting the lease payments as operating expenses or claiming depreciation allowances. This option provides the customer with a managed private cloud solution that meets their ownership and tax needs, while also offering the advantages of HPE GreenLake, such as cost savings, agility, and innovation.

Which traditional use cases can be handled by HPE GreenLake for Block? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer: C, E
HPE GreenLake for Block Storage can handle traditional use cases that require high-performance, reliable, and scalable block storage for mission-critical applications. According to the HPE GreenLake for Block Storage planning overview 1 , some of the use cases that can be supported by HPE GreenLake for Block Storage are:
Collocated VMFS datastore mounted from an Alletra 9080 and protected by Zerto : This use case involves running virtual machines (VMs) on a VMware vSphere cluster that uses a VMFS datastore hosted on an HPE Alletra 9080 system. The VMFS datastore provides fast and consistent access to the VMs’ data, while the HPE Alletra 9080 system delivers extreme performance, availability, and efficiency for the block storage. The VMs’ data is also protected by Zerto, a software solution that provides continuous data protection, disaster recovery, and backup for virtualized environments. Zerto replicates the data from the HPE Alletra 9080 system to another site or cloud, ensuring business continuity and data integrity in case of any failure or outage.
On-premises mission critical Oracle database backed by an Alletra 6050 : This use case involves running an Oracle database on a physical server that uses an HPE Alletra 6050 system as the block storage. The Oracle database supports mission-critical workloads that require high performance, availability, and security. The HPE Alletra 6050 system provides enterprise-grade block storage that delivers consistent low latency, high throughput, and high IOPS for the database. The HPE Alletra 6050 system also supports data services such as snapshots, clones, encryption, and replication for the database, enhancing its functionality and protection.
The other options are not traditional use cases that can be handled by HPE GreenLake for Block Storage. A containerized AI workload utilizing Microsoft Azure and an Apollo 4000 is a hybrid cloud use case that involves running AI applications on containers that use an HPE Apollo 4000 system as the storage. The HPE Apollo 4000 system is a big data and analytics platform that provides high-density, scalable, and cost-effective storage for large data sets. The containers are deployed on Microsoft Azure, a public cloud service that provides compute, storage, and networking resources for cloud applications. This use case is not supported by HPE GreenLake for Block Storage, as it does not involve block storage or HPE Alletra systems. A highly secure, air-gapped NFS share from an MSA 2062 is a file storage use case that involves creating an NFS share on an HPE MSA 2062 system that is isolated from the internet and other networks. The HPE MSA 2062 system is an entry-level storage system that provides affordable and flexible storage for small and medium businesses. The NFS share provides file access to the data stored on the HPE MSA 2062 system, while the air-gap provides security and protection from external threats. This use case is not supported by HPE GreenLake for Block Storage, as it does not involve block storage or HPE Alletra systems. A mainframe volumes provided by HPE XP8 storage is a mainframe storage use case that involves providing block storage for mainframe systems using an HPE XP8 system. The HPE XP8 system is a high-end storage system that provides extreme performance, availability, and scalability for mainframe and open systems. The HPE XP8 system supports mainframe volumes such as FICON, CKD, and ECKD, as well as open system volumes such as FC, iSCSI, and NVMe. This use case is not supported by HPE GreenLake for Block Storage, as it does not involve HPE Alletra systems. References:
