A Correct answer
Explanation

EMC CLARiiON storage arrays use MirrorView/A as their remote replication solution for asynchronously replicating data between storage systems. SnapView is for local snapshots, SRDF is for Symmetrix systems, and TimeFinder is also a Symmetrix product. MirrorView/A is specifically designed for CLARiiON-to-CLARiiON replication.

AI explanation

MirrorView/A is EMC's asynchronous remote (site-to-site) replication product specifically for CLARiiON storage arrays, designed for long-distance disaster recovery with minimal bandwidth requirements. SnapView is a local, point-in-time snapshot/clone tool for CLARiiON — not remote replication. SRDF/AR (Symmetrix Remote Data Facility/Automated Replication) and TimeFinder are both EMC Symmetrix (not CLARiiON) technologies — SRDF handles Symmetrix remote replication and TimeFinder handles local Symmetrix snapshots/clones. Since the question specifically asks about CLARiiON's remote replication solution, MirrorView/A is correct; the others either serve a different array family or a different (local, not remote) purpose.
