A customer has several NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP instances across multiple cloud providers. They need to run some of the Cloud Volumes ONTAP instances on-premises.
Which solution should the customer use?
If a customer needs to run some of their NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP instances on-premises, the best solution would be Azure Stack. Azure Stack extends Azure cloud capabilities to on-premises environments and supports hybrid workloads, including those based on Cloud Volumes ONTAP.
Other options like VMware Cloud (A), AWS Outpost (B), and Google Anthos (C) are cloud extensions but are not directly integrated with Cloud Volumes ONTAP in the same way as Azure Stack, which provides a native extension of Azure services to on-premises infrastructure.
A customer wants to add personal data identifiers from an Oracle database to their NetApp BlueXP classification scans.
Which mechanism should the customer use?
To add personal data identifiers from an Oracle database to NetApp BlueXP classification scans, the customer should use custom categories. Custom categories allow the user to define specific types of data (such as personal identifiers) for classification, helping BlueXP to scan and detect those specific data types within the environment.
RegEx (A) can be used for pattern matching but would require the user to manually define regular expressions, while custom keywords (D) and Data Fusion (C) are not the appropriate mechanisms for this specific use case of adding personal data identifiers to the scans. Custom categories are specifically designed for managing such identifiers.
A company is migrating an application with SAN storage from on-premises to Azure. The company wants a storage solution with iSCSI connectivity.
Which NetApp solution should the company use?
When migrating an application with SAN storage from on-premises to Azure, and requiring iSCSI connectivity, the correct solution is Cloud Volumes ONTAP. Cloud Volumes ONTAP provides a flexible storage solution in the cloud, supporting block-based storage protocols like iSCSI, which is ideal for SAN environments. It allows for seamless integration with existing infrastructure while providing enterprise-class data management features in the cloud.
StorageGRID (B) is an object storage solution, Global File Cache (C) is for file-based caching, and Azure NetApp Files (D) is focused on NFS and SMB file protocols, not iSCSI.
A customer wants to back up on-premises data to Google by using NetApp BlueXP backup and recovery. What is the first step that is required to implement the backup solution?
The first step in implementing NetApp BlueXP backup and recovery for backing up on-premises data to Google Cloud is to install the NetApp BlueXP Connector. The Connector acts as a central management component that facilitates communication between your on-premises storage and the cloud storage provider (Google Cloud in this case). It is a key part of the BlueXP infrastructure and is essential for managing backups, replication, and tiering to the cloud.
Creating a Google Cloud bucket (A) is necessary but not the first step. NetApp Cloud Volumes Service (B) is used for different scenarios, not specifically for backups. Installing an Acquisition Unit (D) is related to monitoring and gathering data for systems like Cloud Insights, not for the BlueXP backup process.
A customer is consuming 30TB of capacity in NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP and is running enterprise file shares. However, only 10TB of capacity is actively being used. The customer wants to implement a cost-efficient solution in the Microsoft Azure cloud platform by using NetApp cloud products.
How can the customer achieve this?
The customer is using 30TB of capacity in NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP but only 10TB of this capacity is actively in use. The most cost-efficient solution in this case is to implement data tiering and optimization. Data tiering moves inactive or cold data to lower-cost storage (such as object storage in Azure), while keeping frequently accessed data on higher-performance storage. This strategy allows the customer to reduce costs by only paying for premium storage for the data that is actively in use, while moving less frequently accessed data to a cheaper storage tier.
Storing all data in the premium storage tier (A) would increase costs rather than reduce them. BlueXP backup and recovery (B) is for data protection, not cost optimization. Deploying an additional single-node Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance (D) would increase storage costs rather than optimize them.
