Scenario: A large financial brokerage firm transacts about 32% of trades in the South American market. It offers brokerage services, investment banking, and financial advisory services to corporations and individuals Recent expansions into other worldwide markets have led to delays m processing trading data into usable reports that are timely enough for consumption by traders. The company is seeking a way to give traders much closer real-time data to use when making decisions on trades, ultimately translating into higher results for its customers and higher competitive advantage for the firm company is projecting 100% data growth rates annually for the foreseeable future. A recent power outage at the production data center that lasted 24 hours resulted in significant data loss. The production data center: ?All rack-mount servers ?Microsoft SQL Server 2000 ?HP ProLiant DL385 servers ?Two HP Enterprise Virtual Array 6400 SANs ?Heterogeneous SAN environment consisting of HP B-series and HP C-series SANs
The on campus Disaster Recovery Center is newly constructed and has not been configured or brought on line: ?BladeSystem environment ?Core edge design ?All HP B-series ?HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System
The company pulls all of its trading information and data into a warehouse and then runs reports on the data internal reports determine whether to update asset allocation. Customer reports detail current holding and earnings of the firm's funds. The most complex reports takes 36 hours to run an can only be run over the weekend to prevent disruption to operations; this results in traders receiving updated information only per week. There is also an option for customers to
access web-based reports, and there is a need to update these reports more frequently as well.
Some of the additional business criteria identified in customer planning interviews includes: ?Produce daily reports rather than weekly ?Close to real time reporting to customers ?Scalable solution for further growth and without interruption ?Ability to add additional reports or analyze in new ways as the need arises ?Reduced IT overtime ?Concerned about application disruptions when adding or removing SAN devices ?Manage multiple fiber Channel ports as one switch resource ?Move from 4GB SAN to an 8GB Fibre Channel SAN. ?Looking for optional performance, less downtime, non-disruption expansion, and a Low price per port on the FC Switch deployment ?Consolidation of SANs for seamless sharing of server storage resources ?Multiple solutions, prioritized with recommendation
Refer to the scenario.
Which licensed feature allows the financial brokerage firm to perform end-to-end monitoring of SAN traffic on a fabric-wide basis in the disaster recovery center?
A. Advanced Web tools
B. Advanced Performance Monitor
C. Adaptive Networking
D. Fabric Watch
