Congratulations, you passed the quiz for the IBM TS7700 Virtual Tape Library - Level 2 course.

Question1 In a sales situation which of the following is a good reason of call with existing IBM mainframe accounts to talk

Complete about IBM TS7770 virtual tape library?

1.00 points out

of 1.00 Select one:
IT professionals will benefit from a conversation about the importance of the right infrastructure as they
migrate to hybrid multicloud

Older virtual tape models are nearing end-of-life and need replacing

Oracle is getting out of the tape business

Physical tape is no longer an effective technology for a modern data center

Question 2 In a sales situation what is a convincing counter argument to clients who are reluctant to encrypt their data

Complete because of performance impacts?

0.00 points out

of 1.00 Select one:
The TS7770 has been engineered to adopt the latest recommendations from the National institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) SP800-131a to meet or exceed encryption algorithm standards for data
in-flight and at rest.

All IBM implemented encryption supports the industry standard AES 256-bit encryption and managed with
IBM's Security Key Lifecycle Manager.

The TS7770 sends data in the clear to switches and then lets the switches do the encryption.

TS7770 encrypts data at the host level in-flight across the network over Ethernet and at rest in storage a£’
without application changes and without impact to SLAs.

Question 3 What is the "secret sauce" that sets the TS7770 apart from the competition?
Complete
Select one:
1.00 points out
of 1.00 Fully automatic recovery functionality

Integration by design

z/OS synergies
Zero downtime
Question 4 In a competitive sales situation what is the BEST argument for convincing a potential client to replace Oracle

Complete with TS7770?

1.00 points out

of 1.00 Select one:
Oracle uses wide-key encryption built into the processor which enables only 15 different keys for both disk
and tape encryption; whereas IBM's extensive key lifecycle management capability enables the highest
level of enterprise encryption.

Oracle outperforms general-purpose backup systems but it cannot outperform the TS7770.

Oracle is getting out of the tape business; IBM continues to engineer and enhance its portfolio of integrated
storage solutions - mainframe disk and tape.

Oracle's approach to tape focuses on performance consolidation and integration; IBM's approach focuses
on cyber resiliency and all of its interrelated technologies.

Fail-over is automated; but more importantly cluster recovery is automated as well.

Both failover and cluster recovery are automated.

Question 14 Which of the following statements about the TS7770 is NOT true?

Complete
Select one:
1.00 points out
of 1.00 The unique performance and capacity of the TS7770 complement the DS8900F disk storage system to help
reduce total cost of ownership in IBM mainframe environments.

The TS7770 helps create a fully integrated tiered storage hierarchy that can take advantage of both disk and
tape technologies.

The TS7770 interacts with Safeguarded Copy to provide full replication across all clusters in the grid.
