NetApp NS0-005 Exam - Topic 3 Question 1 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-005 exam

Question #: 1
Topic #: 3

Your company has a NetApp ONTAP solution deployed in a data center. The current solution has a large amount of stored inactive data. You are asked to tier this data to the cloud, but you must keep the data efficiencies that you are using in the data center.

In this scenario, which NetApp technology enables you to accomplish this task?

AFabricPool

BStorageGRID

CCloud Volumes Service

DCloud Volumes ONTAP

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

A is correct because FabricPool is a feature of ONTAP that enables you to tier inactive data from an all-flash aggregate to an object store in the cloud, while keeping the data efficiencies such as deduplication and compression.

C) Cloud Volumes Service is great, but not for tiering inactive data.

I feel confident about A) FabricPool too. It’s designed for this scenario.

But StorageGRID doesn’t focus on data tiering like FabricPool does.

I’m not so sure about that, isn’t Cloud Volumes ONTAP also a good option?

Wait, can FabricPool really maintain data efficiencies?

I thought StorageGRID was the go-to for cloud storage?

Haha, "cloud stash" and "digital storage locker" - these comments are on point! FabricPool is the clear winner.

FabricPool is the answer. It's like a cloud-based storage closet for your data.

I'd go with FabricPool too. It's like a digital storage locker for your inactive data.

I’m leaning towards FabricPool too, but I wonder if there are any specific configurations needed to ensure data efficiencies are preserved.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like Cloud Volumes ONTAP might be relevant, but I think it’s more about managing cloud storage rather than tiering.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about StorageGRID being more for object storage rather than tiering inactive data.

I think FabricPool is the right choice since it allows for automatic tiering of inactive data to the cloud while maintaining data efficiencies.

FabricPool is the clear winner here. It's the ONTAP-native solution for cloud tiering that preserves all your data efficiencies. The other options don't seem to match the requirements as well.

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with the different cloud integration options for ONTAP. I'll need to read up on FabricPool, StorageGRID, Cloud Volumes Service, and Cloud Volumes ONTAP to understand the capabilities of each.

FabricPool is definitely the way to go. It seamlessly integrates with ONTAP and allows you to automatically tier inactive data to the cloud object storage.

I'm a bit confused - is FabricPool the only option that can tier data to the cloud and preserve the data efficiencies? I'll need to review the differences between the cloud solutions.
