A mainframe customer is considering moving from a native tape environment to a virtualized environment across two sites. A study has shown that it needs more than one IBM TS7700 at each site for performance and capacity reasons.
What is the benefit of using IBM TS7700 hybrid grid?
A . It provides double the number of logical volumes.
B . It allows clusters to connect using both FC and IP networks
C . It permits a combination of IBM TS1130 and IBM TS1140 drives in one cluster.
D . It allows the customer to write data to the optimal storage hardware for each workload type
Answer: D
Explanation: All TS7700 models can coexist in a grid. If only a disk and a tape-attached model are combined, that
configuration is called a hybrid grid.
