Question
A midrange customer requires 100 TB of online file storage and notes that they will generate 100 TB of long term archive storage per year. The archive storage is very unlikely to be referenced in any given year. The customer data center is in an area where power costs are very high and are only expected to go up in the future. What solution would best meet the customer's requirements?
Options
- AStorwize V7000 Unified and a TS3500 with TS1140 drives for fast data access to archived files
- BDS5000 with small SAS drives for online data and nearline SAS drives for lower power consumption
- CStorwize V7000 Unified with HSM licensing, Tivoli Storage Manager, and a TS3310 Tape System with LTO
- DDS5000 with Dynamic RAID Level Migration to non-disruptively move data from costly RAID-10 to less
