A. Because IBM i is a proprietary, object-oriented architecture, it is not susceptible to virus attacks.

B. The unique architecture of IBM i makes it unlikely that a virus could be written to attack it.

C. Virus Scanning Enablement provides an open set of API is that allow anti-virus business partner products be used to protect IBM i.

D. Anti-virus utilities are built into IBM i and virus scan enablement is provided automatically.

A. IBM POWER7 models offer an optional TurboCore mode which allows the processor cores to manage shared memory pools.

B. Extended Adaptive Cache should be used to create a system cache, reducing the physical I/O requests for the disk

C. IBM i offers Active Memory Expansion to make better use of system memory.

D. IBM i has the ability to automatically manage shared memory pools and will adjust the storage and activity levels as needed

A. It provides future product direction for upgrade planning.

B. It provides an installation plan for service providers.

C. It shows side by side and migration methods to get to a newer system.

D. It defines supported upgrade paths.

A. Upgrades from the POWERS 550 are to a POWER7 or POWER7+ 750 or above.

B. The upgrade path which preserves the serial number is to a 4-core Power 740.

C. Migrations are supported but not upgrades, so the serial number will change.

D. The upgrade path is to an 8-core Power 720, but they only need to license 4 cores to IBM i.

A. When disk I/O is constrained but disk capacity and memory are not constrained

B. When disk capacity is constrained but processor and disk I/O are not constrained

C. When memory is constrained but disk I/O and processor are not constrained

D. When processor is constrained but memory and disk I/O are not constrained

A. IBM i Access for Windows provides direct access to Windows files, stored as IBM i database files, eliminating the need to program proprietary database interfaces.

B. IBM i supports remote SQL access and other database file serving functions that are intended to support attached Windows network clients.

C. The IBM i Integrated File System enables attached POs to interact with Windows directories on Power storage as if they were stored locally on the P

D. Independent auxiliary storage pools can be configured under IBM i to identify a collection of disk units intended to support Windows file systems.

A. Storage management DB2 UDB BRMS

B. Work management JVM Integrated Pile System

C. Security management Web Server PowerHA

D. Systems management Antivirus DB2

A. Solution Editions featuring ISV software offer lower total cost of ownership (TOO) and lower total cost of acquisition (TOA) than competitors.

B. IBM International Pricing Agreements mean that global ISVs offer a lower pricing model for their software when running on Power Systems servers.

C. Support for ISV software running on IBM i is included in the initial cost of the Solution Edition.

D. Solution Editions include IBM Software Maintenance at no charge for the first 3 years.

A. The DB2 Predictive Query Governor can prevent the initiation of a query if the estimated run time exceeds a user defined limit.

B. DB2 Query Management Facility provides a comprehensive set of features and functions to control query, reporting, and analytics jobs.

C. The IBM i Universal DB2 Query subsystem (QQUERY) defines how, where, and how many queries may operate, as well as which resources the request may use.

D. DB2 uses the Open Query File manager to provide a filter between the query and database records which gradually reduces job priority over time.
