Which of the following is a FALSE statement about IBM's plans to converge
Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Plus into a single platform?
Select one:

Open Snap Store Manage (OSSM) is technology that is available now for
storing Spectrum Protect Plus backups directly into a Spectrum Protect
backup repository.

Merging the platforms has been difficult because they have two separate
backup repositories.

Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus will always be separate

platforms.

IBM plans to complete the convergence of the two platforms sometime in

2022.

A client asks for an explanation of client side compression. Which statement
best explains the benefits of client side compression?
Select one:

Files are compressed by the client before transmission, which conserves

network bandwidth and server storage.
Compression is performed by the storage hardware, thus conserving server
storage.

Duplicate data is only stored once - out of band deduplication to the disk
pool, and inline deduplication to directory or cloud pools.

Files are compressed by the server after in-line deduplication for containers,
which conserves network bandwidth when writing to the cloud.
