NetApp NS0-604 Exam - Topic 3 Question 30 Discussion
Topic #: 3
A company has an existing on-premises NetApp AFF array in their datacenter that is about to run out of storage capacity. Due to recent leadership changes, the company cannot add more storage capacity in the existing AFF array, because they need to move to cloud in 2 to 3 years. The current on-premises array contains a lot of cold dat
a. The company needs to free some storage capacity on the existing on-premises AFF array relatively quickly, to support the new application.
Which NetApp BlueXP service should the company use to meet this requirement?
In this scenario, the company needs to quickly free up storage capacity on its on-premises NetApp AFF array, especially since much of the data is cold. The best solution is BlueXP tiering (formerly Cloud Tiering), which moves infrequently accessed (cold) data from the high-performance on-premises storage to more cost-effective cloud storage.
By automatically tiering cold data to the cloud, BlueXP tiering enables the company to free up space on their existing AFF array without additional on-premises hardware, and it prepares them for a future cloud migration. This process can be implemented quickly and efficiently to meet their immediate storage needs.
Other options like BlueXP backup and recovery (B), BlueXP replication (C), and BlueXP copy and sync (D) are focused on data protection, replication, and synchronization, but they do not directly address the need to free up on-premises storage space.
