HPE2-B10 Sample Questions

  1. Question 1

    Beginner

    Explain sustainability in the Context of IT · Describe how to achieve sustainability in the data center

    When assessing a data center's energy efficiency, which metric is calculated by dividing the total facility energy by the IT equipment energy?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is the standard industry metric for measuring data center energy efficiency. It is calculated by dividing the total amount of power entering a data center by the power used to run the IT equipment within it. An ideal PUE is 1.0, meaning all energy is used for computing rather than cooling or lighting.

  2. Question 2

    Intermediate

    Explain sustainability in the Context of IT · Monitor and manage sustainability

    A multinational corporation is auditing its carbon footprint to meet new ESG reporting standards. They need to categorize the emissions generated from the manufacturing and transportation of the servers they purchase from vendors. Under which category do these emissions fall?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    Scope 3 emissions are indirect greenhouse gas emissions that occur in an organization's value chain. This includes the embodied carbon from the manufacturing, transportation, and end-of-life disposal of purchased IT equipment. Scope 1 covers direct emissions, and Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from purchased electricity.

  3. Question 3

    Advanced

    Recognize AP performance features that improve network sustainability · AP performance features that improve network sustainability

    A university is deploying HPE Aruba Networking Access Points (APs) across a large campus. The IT director wants to ensure the network contributes to the university's aggressive sustainability goals by reducing power consumption during off-peak hours.

    Which AP feature should the network engineer enable to dynamically disable specific capabilities when Power over Ethernet (PoE) budgets are constrained or during low-traffic periods?

    flowchart TD A[AP Power Draw] --> B{PoE Limit Reached?} B -- Yes --> C[Disable USB Port] C --> D[Reduce Radio Chains] D --> E[Maintain Core Connectivity] B -- No --> F[Normal Operations]
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    HPE Aruba Networking's Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM) feature allows APs to continuously measure power consumption and dynamically disable specific features (like USB ports or secondary radios) based on predefined policies when PoE limits are reached or to save energy. TWT is a Wi-Fi 6 feature that saves client battery, not AP power.

  4. Question 4

    Intermediate

    Explain sustainability in the Context of IT · Use sustainable infrastructure

    A systems administrator is reviewing the utilization metrics of a legacy data center. They discover that 15% of the physical servers have been running for over six months with CPU and memory utilization consistently below 3%, performing no useful work for any application.

    What is the industry term for these systems, and what is the most sustainable action to take?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    Servers that draw power but perform no useful work are known as 'zombie' or 'comatose' servers. Identifying and decommissioning them is one of the quickest and most effective ways to improve data center energy efficiency, as idle servers still consume a significant amount of power.

  5. Question 5

    Intermediate

    Identify and suggest Right Mix Advisor and Modernization Services · Right Mix Advisor and Modernization Services

    Which HPE service specifically analyzes an organization's existing application portfolio to recommend the optimal placement (public cloud, private cloud, or edge) based on performance, cost, and sustainability impacts?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    HPE Right Mix Advisor is a service that helps organizations develop a data-driven hybrid cloud strategy. It analyzes the application landscape to recommend the optimal deployment venue for each workload, balancing performance, cost, and environmental sustainability.

  6. Question 6

    Intermediate

    Help customers develop a better operating model · Develop a better operating model

    A CIO is considering transitioning from a traditional CapEx IT procurement model to an as-a-service model using HPE GreenLake.

    How does adopting this consumption-based operating model directly improve the organization's IT sustainability?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    Traditional IT procurement often involves overprovisioning hardware by up to 50% to handle future growth, leading to massive energy waste from idle servers. An as-a-service model like HPE GreenLake provides capacity on demand, closely aligning resource usage with actual needs and significantly reducing wasted power and embodied carbon.
