L50-503 LSI SVM5 Sales Consultant Questions and Answers

The ability to retire equipment before going off warranty and onto maintenance.

The ability to extend the useful life of an asset by repurposing it to a different use.

The ability to non-disruptively refresh the storage infrastructure as business requires.

The ability to pool storage by common storage systems.

The ability to snapshot entire applications space efficiently.

multiView can be used to take a PiT copy. Additional PiTs can then be taken off the first PiT for test and development.

multiCopy can be used to copy the database to another storage array. multiView can then be used to take low capacity PiTs of the copy for test and development.

multiCopy will create a steady stream of data to a copy area. multiView can then be used to take PiTs whenever they are required for test and development.

MultiView can be set to only read the PiT data when the volume is not in use. Requests for PiTs for test and development can therefore be queued.

Using redirect-on-write and multiView, applications can be restored very quickly.

Using copy-on-write and multiView, applications can be restored very quickly.

Low capacity snapshots will reduce CAPEX by eliminating redundant copies.

Low capacity snapshots will reduce CAPEX by reducing hardware footprint.

Pooling the storage into a server virtualization model whereby different servers can emulate hosts and tier the data.

Pooling the storage into a networked virtualization model zoning the virtualized storage utilizing third-party tools.

Pooling the storage across different vendor’s storage arrays into a centralized pool and then assigning different applications and tiers to different pools.

Pooling the storage across different vendor’s storage arrays into assigned volume groups and use virtual servers to tier the data.

Migrate data to less expensive tiers.

Deploy rapid application recovery.

Avoid Tier 1 storage where possible.

Stripe every volume.

Implement server and storage virtualization.

Developers will benefit from faster processing speeds on the snapshots.

Multiple developers can work on their own discrete copies of an application.

Multiple developers can work on their own full size copy of an application.

Instant copies of up-to-date production data can be taken without taking the live application offline.

acquisition cost savings by avoiding buying all Tier 1

cost improvements by reducing cost of waste

improved storage utilization

reduced communications bandwidth

reduced recovery point objectives

Async mirroring always uses FC verses IP for better performance.

Async mirroring can span long distances without performance loss.

Async mirroring was designed for server-to-server or disk-to-disk mirroring.

Based on the async mirroring standards, it is only good for distances in excess of 1000 (1600 km) miles.

multiView can take a PiT of the application that can be kept for recovery from disk and then backed up to tape during quieter processing times.

multiView can take a PiT of the application and then copy it over IP to another site for resilience.

multiView will take a full copy of the application which the backup application can then backup offline during less busy processing times.

A view of a PiT can be mounted on a backup server and backed up to tape with no data flow or processing overhead on the application server.

multiMirror lowers the bandwidth required on the customer's WAN.

multiMirror allows the customer to use the data at the disaster recovery site for test or backup.

multiMirror works with both FC and iSCSI SANs for flexibility.

multiMirror allows heterogeneous devices at the disaster recovery site.

multiMirror can recover from a network failure by doing a complete resynchronization.

RPO is a tape concept, and multiView will create many views to help backup the data on-line.

RPO is the amount of time required to recover an application; therefore, multiView will reduce the timing.

RPO is defined by the amount of data lost during a failure event; consequently, multiView will reduce data loss by allowing more frequent recovery points.

RPO is defined by the amount of performance required to run a given application and multiView will reduce overhead created by the array.
