IBM Maximo Application Suite v8.x Administrator — Question 22

An architect is tasked with setting up IBM Cloud Object Storage for data with unpredictable usage patterns. Which storage class should the architect select for this use case?

Answer options

• A. Standard
• B. Smart tier
• C. Vault
• D. Cold Vault

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Smart tier storage class is designed for data with unpredictable access patterns, automatically optimizing costs based on usage. The Standard class is better for frequently accessed data, while Vault and Cold Vault are suited for infrequently accessed data, making them less ideal for this use case.
