A company’s storage infrastructure has grown dynamically, heterogeneously, and larger in scale As a
result, the infrastructure is more difficult to manage. The company needs to eliminate manual,
repetitive, and error-prone administrative tasks. What should the company use to achieve this goal?
A.
hierarchical storage management
B.
autonomic management
C.
storage tiering
D.
thin provisioning
Explanation:
With autonomic management, you can:
* Meet service level changes without dropping what you’re doing.
Policy-driven, autonomic storage tiering balances cost and performance automatically, intelligently
and without manual intervention.
* Make tedious administration tasks a thing of the past.
Eliminate up to 90% of the time that you currently spend doing tedious, manual storage
administration tasks. 1 Eliminate array planning; provision just once for the lifetime of an
application; simplify change management; and minimize the potential for human error.
* Forget about performance and capacity utilization monitoring.
Autonomic storage reporting tools detect and resolve performance and utilization issues before they
become problems.
* Eliminate failed backups.
HP Autonomic Restart removes any single point of failure with autonomic error detection and
failover.
* Free stranded capacity to maximize storage hardware investments.
Thin reclamation identifies free but unused space on an ongoing basis to keep utilization rates high
over time without manual intervention.
Incorrect:
Not C: 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.
