workloads. The ___________ disaster recovery mechanism could be used.
Feedback
Block, file, and object storage are the correct answers.
File storage provides a network-attached storage (NAS) environment as opposed to a storage area network (SAN) environment.
When NAS is desired with latency below 1 ms and when a High IO performance for applications like databases are needed.
Clients can use Bring Your Own Key to encrypt their data
A client would use API to access and manage objects when they
are stored on IBM Cloud Object Storage.
IBM Cloud Object Storage provides data resilience by always
storing data across at least three devices, zones, or regions.
The primary reason an organization using IBM Cloud would use
software-defined storage is its ability to store application data across
different availability zones, increasing resilience.
Portworx in IBM Cloud is highly available and can be used as
persistent storage management for containerized applications.
Block storage would meet this client’s workload needs.
Cloud Object Storage would fulfill the need for a media company
requiring media files stored in IBM Cloud to have high availability and the lowest
cost.
IBM Cloud offers default encryption of at-rest and in-transit data and is therefore a good choice.
SQL and NoSQL are two types of databases IBM Cloud offers.
NoSQL was developed in response to the emergence of cloud, big
data, web, and mobile applications.
The service provider is responsible for handling upgrades, backups,
and other maintenance tasks with IBM Cloud’s Database-as-a-Service offerings.
Client-managed encryption enables users to bring their own CRK or use a KMS to generate a key.
Secondary data volumes is one of the two volumes that are encrypted by default.
IBM Key Protect allows clients to store their root key in an IBM-protected HSM and uses envelope encryption.
The data is managed in an IBM-managed cloud infrastructure account.
TLS can be used to encrypt data in motion.
Data at rest is where data is stored physically, and data in motion
is data moving from one place to another.
Key Protect and Hyper Protect Crypto Services are two key
management solutions on IBM Cloud.
HPCS offers Keep Your Own Key (KYOK), key lifecycle management, and FIPS 140-2 Level 4 certified hardware. Customers, not vendors, retain exclusive control of the HSM.
KYOK is more secure, because users retain absolute control of their keys.
IBM Key Protect is a shared multi-tenant service, and IBM Hyper Protect
Crypto Services is a single-tenant service.
IBM Hyper Protect Crypto Services meets the FIPS 140-2 Level 4
certification.
The highest level of available encryption certification is FIPS 140
2 Level 4.
HPCS uses a dedicated HSM, and Key Protect uses a shared HSM.
Hyper Protect Crypto Services would meet this client’s
requirements.
IBM Cloud Backup can be used with bare metal servers, virtual servers, and VMware Dedicated solutions.
Zerto is only available for VMware solutions.
Disaster recover is defined as a plan that is created to deal with
an outage that could impact applications, data, and IT resources.
Recovery time objective is defined as the maximum period in which
the organization can afford to be without access to data during an incident.
Zerto is the disaster recovery and protection option on IBM Cloud
that uses continuous data replication with journaling.
IBM Cloud Spectrum Protect is another solution that could be
used.
PowerHA Geographic Mirroring could be used for a client who is
leveraging IBM Cloud Power Systems Virtual Servers for their IBM i workloads.
