HP SET flashcards
HP SET · Build recall with a focused review session.
32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- ProLiant DL series
- HPE rack-optimized ProLiant servers for data center deployment, with the first digit indicating series and the second indicating generation, such as DL380 Gen11.
- HPE iLO 6
- Out-of-band management controller on Gen11 servers providing remote console, Redfish API, firmware management, and security features under Advanced license tiers.
- Silicon Root of Trust
- Hardware-anchored security mechanism that verifies server firmware against an immutable fingerprint in silicon, detecting tampering before the operating system boots.
- HPE Synergy
- Composable infrastructure platform using frames, compute modules, interconnect link modules, and storage modules, managed through HPE OneView profiles.
- Apollo 6500
- HPE scale-up GPU server supporting up to eight double-wide GPUs, designed for AI training, inference, and high-performance computing workloads.
- HPE Compute Ops Management
- Cloud-native console for managing ProLiant and Apollo fleets, providing firmware compliance, health monitoring, and lifecycle automation from a single interface.
- Primera Peer Persistence
- Synchronous replication feature on HPE Primera enabling transparent failover between arrays in stretched clusters, delivering near-zero recovery point objective.
- Nimble InfoSight
- Predictive analytics engine that collects telemetry from Nimble arrays, detects anomalies, and recommends remediation before performance or capacity issues impact workloads.
- StoreOnce Catalyst
- Deduplication protocol used by backup software to write directly to HPE StoreOnce appliances, reducing backup windows and network bandwidth consumption.
- MSA entry SAN
- HPE entry-level storage array family with dual controllers, Fibre Channel or iSCSI connectivity, and snapshots, targeting small businesses and remote offices.
- Nimble dHCI
- Integrated platform combining Nimble storage with ProLiant compute under unified management, simplifying virtualization deployments for midmarket customers.
- AOS-CX
- Aruba's modern network operating system featuring a REST API, Network Analytics Engine, and support for VSF, VSX, and EVPN-VXLAN fabric deployments.
- Aruba Fabric Composer
- Software that orchestrates EVPN-VXLAN data center fabrics and integrates with VMware NSX plus HPE compute and storage for unified operations.
- EVPN-VXLAN
- Leaf-spine overlay architecture using BGP EVPN as the control plane and VXLAN encapsulation to extend Layer 2 segments across a Layer 3 underlay.
- VSX
- Aruba AOS-CX multichassis redundancy technology providing active-active forwarding and in-service software upgrades at the data center core.
- Aruba Central
- Cloud management platform for Aruba wired, wireless, and SD-WAN infrastructure, delivering configuration, monitoring, and AI-powered insights from a single console.
- GreenLake metered model
- Consumption model where customers pay monthly for measured capacity above a committed buffer, shifting infrastructure spend from capital to operating expense.
- GreenLake buffer capacity
- Pre-provisioned headroom included in a GreenLake commitment that absorbs short-term growth before metered overage charges apply.
- GreenLake platform
- Single dashboard for GreenLake services providing cost visibility, compliance reporting, capacity tracking, and lifecycle management across hybrid estates.
- HPE Ezmeral
- Software platform for containerized and data-intensive workloads across hybrid environments, including data fabric and analytics capabilities.
- HPE Morpheus
- Multicloud orchestration platform providing self-service provisioning, cost control, and governance across on-premises and public cloud environments.
- Hybrid IT workload rule
- Latency-sensitive, regulated, or high-egress workloads stay on-premises; burst, development, and test workloads can move to public cloud.
- Pointnext Tech Care
- Reactive support tier offering 24x7 access to HPE experts, software and firmware updates, and knowledge resources for covered infrastructure.
- Pointnext Complete Care
- Proactive support tier with an assigned account team, monitoring, and incident prevention services layered on top of standard reactive support.
- HPE Financial Services
- Financing and asset lifecycle arm providing leasing, upcycling, and refresh funding to align infrastructure investment with consumption models.
- Usable capacity formula
- Usable capacity equals raw capacity multiplied by RAID efficiency, sparing, and reserve factors, minus snapshot and replication overhead.
- Availability design rule
- Use N+1 redundancy for standard workloads and N+N or 2N for tier-1 systems, adding stretched-cluster replication for site-level protection.
- ROI formula
- ROI equals net benefit divided by total cost, multiplied by one hundred; payback period equals initial investment divided by annual net benefit.
- TCO components
- Hardware, software licenses, support, power and cooling, floor space, administrative labor, migration effort, and refresh or disposal costs.
- Refresh consolidation ratio
- Ratio of old servers replaced by new ones, driven by core count, memory, and performance per watt improvements between generations.
- Dell price objection
- Counter by comparing total cost including support, management software, power, and refresh, then emphasize HPE security and services differentiation.
- Public cloud objection
- Reframe around hybrid IT: steady-state and regulated workloads remain on-premises while GreenLake delivers cloud-like operating expense and agility.
