Identifying the Three Layers of Storage System Components
Short answer
BCD The three layers of components that storage systems are made up of are Storage Solution, Storage Software, and Storage Hardware.
Question
Key Takeaways
The main trap is confusing functional processes like 'Analysis' with structural components. Remember that storage systems are built from physical hardware, managing software, and the resulting solution configuration.
This question tests knowledge of the fundamental architecture of storage systems. The correct components forming the three layers are Storage Solution, Storage Software, and Storage Hardware.
Common mistake: Candidates might incorrectly choose 'Storage Analysis' thinking it's part of the management layer, but it is a function, not a constituent component layer like Hardware or Software.
Expert Analysis
The question asks for the three layers of components that make up storage systems. In general IT infrastructure and specifically within Huawei's storage architecture (as referenced by the H13-611 exam code), a storage system is typically decomposed into three fundamental logical/physical layers: Storage Hardware, Storage Software (including firmware, OS, and management agents), and the overarching Storage Solution (which represents the configured service or capability delivered to the user).
Let's evaluate the options:
- A. Storage Analysis: This is not a standard layer component. Analysis is a function or process, not a structural building block.
- B. Storage Solution: This refers to the complete set of hardware, software, and services configured to meet specific data storage needs. It is often considered the top-level component or the 'solution' layer in vendor documentation.
- C. Storage Software: This includes the storage operating system, file systems, RAID algorithms, and management interfaces. It is a core layer.
- D. Storage Hardware: This includes disks, controllers, network interfaces, and chassis. It is the foundational layer.
Therefore, the three components are Storage Solution, Storage Software, and Storage Hardware. Option B, C, and D are the correct selections.
Exam Strategy
When asked about 'layers' or 'components' of a system, think physically and logically first. Hardware is always the base. Software manages the hardware. The 'Solution' is the value-added configuration on top. Eliminate options that sound like actions (e.g., Analysis, Management) rather than nouns representing tangible or logical entities.
