Which NetApp BlueXP product enables a customer to provide read and write access to remote Windows servers from a centralized datastore?
Answer : B
BlueXP edge caching is a NetApp BlueXP product that enables a customer to provide read and write access to remote Windows servers from a centralized datastore. BlueXP edge caching allows you to cache data from a BlueXP volume or a Cloud Volume ONTAP system on a local Windows server, which improves the performance and availability of your applications. You can also sync the cached data back to the source volume, ensuring data consistency and protection.Reference=BlueXP edge caching overview,BlueXP edge caching documentation,BlueXP edge caching: Accelerate access to your data
Which two access policies are supported by StorageGRID? (Choose two.)
Answer : B
StorageGRID supports two kinds of access policies: bucket policies and group policies. Bucket policies are attached to buckets and control access by users in the bucket owner account or other accounts to the bucket and the objects in it. Group policies are attached to a group in the account and allow that group to access specific resources owned by that account. Both bucket and group policies use the Amazon Web Services (AWS) policy language and are written in JSON.Reference=Bucket and group access policies,Use bucket and group access policies,Example group policies.
A customer needs to accelerate data access of a hot volume to multiple remote sites.
Which NetApp ONTAP feature simplifies file distribution, reduces WAN latency, and lowers WAN bandwidth cost?
Answer : B
FlexCache technology is a feature of NetApp ONTAP that enables you to create a cache volume on a remote cluster and populate it with data from a source volume on a different cluster. The cache volume can serve read requests from local clients, reducing the WAN latency and bandwidth consumption. The cache volume can also be configured to write back to the source volume, ensuring data consistency and availability. FlexCache technology simplifies file distribution by allowing you to create multiple cache volumes across different sites and regions, and manage them from a single interface.Reference=FlexCache volumes overview - NetApp,FlexCache volumes: Simplify file distribution and reduce WAN latency - NetApp,FlexCache volumes: Use cases and benefits - NetApp.
A company wants to reduce their on-premises footprint by tiering cold data to a more cost-effective location. Which IMetApp ONTAP feature can be used?
Answer : C
FabricPool is a NetApp ONTAP feature that enables you to tier cold data from your on-premises storage to a more cost-effective location, such as the cloud or an on-premises object store. FabricPool automatically identifies and moves inactive data blocks from the performance tier, which consists of SSDs or HDDs, to the capacity tier, which consists of object storage. FabricPool preserves the data protection, security, and efficiency features of ONTAP, while reducing the storage footprint and costs of your on-premises system.Reference=Data tiering overview,Managing data tiering for your clusters,Data Tiering and Cloud Tiering Solutions,Cloud Tiering for Intelligent Data Growth Management,Cozy with hot, tier with cold: A data growth simplicity story
The customer wants to use NetApp BtueXP backup and recovery to back up their NetApp ONTAP volumes in on-premises ONTAP based systems.
Which two services can be used as a backup destination? (Choose two.)
Answer : A
NetApp BlueXP backup and recovery supports various object storage services as backup destinations, including IBM Cloud Object Storage and Microsoft Azure Blob. These services provide scalable, durable, and cost-effective storage for backup data. BlueXP backup and recovery can automatically create and manage the required storage accounts and containers for these services, or use existing ones if specified by the user. BlueXP backup and recovery also supports Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, NetApp StorageGRID, and NetApp ONTAP S3 as backup destinations.Reference=BlueXP backup and recovery documentation,Back up on-premises ONTAP to IBM Cloud Object Storage,Back up on-premises ONTAP to Azure Blob
A storage administrator wants to expand an existing NetApp ONTAP AFF cluster with cost-effective nearline storage for archiving purposes.
What should the administrator do to accomplish this task?
Answer : B
= Adding a new FAS system to the existing AFF cluster is a way to expand the storage capacity with cost-effective nearline storage for archiving purposes. A FAS system can use HDDs as the performance tier and tier cold data to cloud object storage using FabricPool, which is a NetApp data tiering technology that reduces the amount of physical capacity taken up by data. This way, the administrator can leverage the storage efficiencies of ONTAP and the low-cost storage of the cloud to archive data that is not frequently accessed. The AFF and FAS systems can be managed by the same ONTAP cluster and provide seamless data access and protection.Reference=Storage Efficiencies - NetApp,Data Archiving: Cost-Effective Cloud Storage - NetApp,AFF Systems and Cloud Volumes ONTAP | NetApp.
