What is the value that SmartVirtualization brings to customers?

Question

Options

• AOn-demand purchase of storage resources reduces the initial investment
• BHeterogeneous virtualization and integration of equipment storage resources of mainstream
• CUnified management of high, medium and low-end to improve management efficiency

• A
  17% (4)
• B
  70% (16)
• C
  13% (3)

Explanation

B is correct because SmartVirtualization's defining value is its ability to perform heterogeneous storage virtualization - meaning it can pool and integrate storage hardware from multiple mainstream vendors into a single unified resource, allowing organizations to leverage existing multi-vendor investments rather than being locked into one ecosystem.

A is wrong because on-demand purchasing describes a procurement/billing model (like cloud storage), not what SmartVirtualization actually does - it virtualizes existing physical storage, it doesn't define how you buy it.

C is wrong because while unified management is a benefit of virtualization generally, it's a secondary outcome rather than SmartVirtualization's core value proposition; C also omits the critical "heterogeneous" aspect, which is what sets this technology apart.

Memory tip: Focus on the word heterogeneous - SmartVirtualization's unique selling point is making different brands of storage work together as one. If an option doesn't capture that cross-vendor integration idea, it's likely a distractor.
