A customer needs to balance storage high availability and cost to meet various service level agreements, depending on the application requirement.
Which storage methodology should the customer use?
A. storage RAID
B. storage federation
C. storage tiering
D. deduplicated storage
Correct Answer: C
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Tiered storage is the assignment of different categories of data to different types of storage media in order to reduce total storage cost. Categories may be based on levels of protection needed, performance requirements, frequency of use, and other considerations. Since assigning data to particular media may be an ongoing and complex activity, some vendors provide software for automatically managing the process based on a company-defined policy. As an example of tiered storage, tier 1 data (such as mission-critical, recently accessed, or top secret files) might be stored on expensive and high-quality media such as double-parity RAIDs (redundant arrays of independent disks). Tier 2 data (such as financial, seldom-used, or classified files) might be stored on less expensive media in conventional storage area networks (SANs). As the tier number increased, cheaper media could be used.
Thus, tier 3 in a 3-tier system might contain event-driven, rarely used, or unclassified files on recordable compact discs (CD-Rs) or tapes.
Incorrect:
Not:
Much like vMotion in VMware environments, storage federation goes beyond the capabilities of storage virtualization. Storage federation from HP enables the online non-disruptive movement of storage volumes between arrays in a metro area. Unlike external storage virtualization appliances that add cost, complexity and downtime, storage federation from HP creates a persistent pool of capacity using native communication between system controllers.
