The Easy Tier functionality in Storage Virtualize is impressive. It
employs AI to automatically optimize performance by moving
frequently accessed data to the fastest storage tier. Why is Easy
Tier even more impressive when it is used with SAN Volume
Controller?
It can move Safeguarded Copy snapshots to a faster tier
It can tier between virtualized arrays to enhance all
systems

It uses policy-based rules when employed in a virtualized
environment
It is 27% faster than when used with a single storage array
Question 3
Correct
Points out of 1.00
How can the reliability of a SAN Volume Controller (SVC) cluster
be further enhanced?
By ordering the “enhanced reliability cluster” (ERC)
feature.
With the use of hot spare node(s). 
By implementing an Enhanced Stretched Cluster.
By adding a third, or fourth, boot drive.

A seller is talking to a client who already has some slightly older
SAN Volume Controller (SVC) nodes and they are thinking about
adding a couple more. They are concerned about having
different models. What could the seller tell them to help ease
their concerns?
As long as the cluster code meets or exceeds the

minimum code requirement for the new nodes, there is
no problem running various node generations in
different I/O groups of a cluster.
As long as the I/O group code meets or exceeds the
minimum code requirement for the new nodes, there is no
problem running various node generations in the I/O group
There is no problem running various node generations in
the same I/O Group and they will automatically join the
group regardless of the version of the OS.
There is no problem running various node generations in
the same cluster and they will automatically join the group

A seller is speaking with an IT Director at a university who has
been told their department must establish an HA con�guration
between two buildings on campus. The Director explains they
have numerous storage arrays from different vendors and none
