Question 3
Which offering provides scale-out parallel processing and dramatically accelerates performance of analytics clusters when integrated with the IBM FlashSystem?
IBM Spectrum Copy Data Management
Correct answer: B
Explanation:
Although Spectrum Scale and FlashSystem are both available by themselves, and there’s no requirement to combine them, doing so can result in the IT equivalent of “1+1=3.” Each solution complements the other in supporting the needs of two of today’s most common, fastgrowing “application ecosystems”—private clouds and [big] data analytics. Both of those application ecosystems must deliver extreme capacity and extreme performance simultaneously and economically. If only one or two of the scale/speed/economy attributes is needed, then each of the IBM products can stand alone very well. But where all three are prerequisites, the joint IBM solution shines.
