NetApp NS0-604 Exam - Topic 4 Question 19 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-604 exam

Question #: 19
Topic #: 4

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?

AStore all data in the premium storage tier.

BEnable BlueXP backup and recovery.

CImplement data tiering and optimization.

DDeploy an additional single-node Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

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.

Data tiering and optimization sounds like the best option!

BlueXP backup is great, but not the main cost saver here.

Surprised they’re using 30TB but only need 10TB actively!

I disagree, premium storage is too expensive for this.

I feel like deploying an additional instance might not be the best option here, but I can't recall the specifics on why that would be inefficient.

Implementing data tiering sounds right to me, especially since they have so much unused capacity. It could help reduce costs significantly.

I think we practiced a question where enabling backups was mentioned, but I don't see how that helps with cost efficiency directly.

I remember something about data tiering being a way to optimize storage costs, but I'm not entirely sure how it works in this context.

I'm pretty confident that the correct answer is C. Implementing data tiering and optimization seems like the most cost-efficient solution to address the customer's needs in the Azure cloud platform.

Okay, I've got a strategy here. Based on the information provided, I think the best solution would be to implement data tiering and optimization using NetApp's cloud products. This should allow the customer to store the active data on premium storage while archiving the unused capacity to a lower-cost tier.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the details here. The customer is using 30TB but only 10TB is actively used. I'll need to think through the different options to determine the most efficient approach.

This looks like a straightforward question about optimizing cloud storage costs. I think the key is to identify the most cost-effective storage solution for the customer's needs.
