IBM Maximo Application Suite v8.x Administrator — Question 4

Why does IBM Cloud Analytics Engine decouple compute and storage?

Answer options

• A. Compute can be scaled but storage costs are fixed
• B. Storage can be scaled but not compute
• C. To achieve scale independently and control costs
• D. Compute can be scaled but not storage

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as separating compute from storage allows for independent scaling of resources, which helps in managing costs effectively. Option A is incorrect because it misrepresents the scaling capabilities of storage. Option B is wrong because both compute and storage can be scaled, but the objective is to do so separately. Option D is also incorrect since it suggests that storage cannot be scaled, which is not true.
