Question 3
A customer has several large disk systems serving up block data over Fibre Channel that are of varying degree of utilization and needs to constrain growth and manage performance. The disk systems are made by EMC, Huawei, Bull, and IBM.
Which IBM software solution should be discussed?
IBM Spectrum Control Base Edition
IBM Virtual Storage Center for Storwize
Correct answer: B
Explanation:
IBM Virtual Storage Center for Storwize provides a lower-cost alternative to Fibre Channel-based replication that is easily configurable in existing IP infrastructures, eliminating the need for FCIP routers and dark fibre. SAN Volume Controller can virtualize IBM and non-IBM storage (over 170 systems from IBM, EMC, HP, HDS, Sun, Dell, NetApp, Fujitsu, NEC, Bull) References: IBM Storwize Family Software, (SVC & Storwize), Product Roadmap, page 4https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/files/form/anonymous/api/library/c18c45e6-e212-4b38-a28e-6c74534ba5e2/document/4555d51c-465b-4093-bb06-ca70861e2e3e/media
