Which feature or product enables this requirement?

A. IBM Copy Services Manager

B. FlashCopy

C. IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot

D. Volume mirroring

A customer has two IBM Storwize V5010 systems installed at two locations and is considering IP data replication between the two sites. The IP link between locations is a shared resource and is not scalable.

Why would Global Mirror with Change Volumes be a beneficial solution for this customer?

A. It keeps the relationship live even with limited bandwidth

B. It uses required IP connection

C. It shortens the Recovery Point Objective

D. It achieves the Recovery Time Objective

A customer intends to use a 3-tier Easy Tier storage pool. They are concerned about immediate performance if data that has been tiered down to NL-SAS drives becomes heavily accessed.

What should the technical specialist explain to address the customer concern?

A. Easy Tier will automatically balance workload across NL-SAS Mdisks

B. Easy Tier builds an optimization plan every 24 hours, so performance improves next day

C. Warm Promote looks to promote overloaded extents every five minutes

D. FlashCache functionality will accelerate the extents on the NL-SAS disks
