   A global bank runs its real-time payment authorization system on a mainframe. The system processes millions of transactions per hour and cannot tolerate any downtime. The bank's storage team is evaluating a new array and requires native mainframe channel support, sub-millisecond latency, and the ability to replicate synchronously to a second site for zero data loss. Which storage platform characteristic is the primary reason PowerMax is the best fit for this workload?

   • ANative FICON connectivity and mainframe-optimized replication
   • BBuilt-in ransomware detection using machine learning
   • CSupport for NVMe over TCP for high-performance open systems
   • DCloud tiering to AWS and Azure for archival storage
