Question #3
A customer has data on an on-premises volume that needs to be quickly accessed by their analytics application in the cloud. The connection from the cloud provider to the on-premises system has more latency than the cloud analytics application can handle. The customer cannot completely move the volume to the cloud, due to on-premises access requirements.
Which NetApp ONTAP feature enables the customer to use NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP for quick read and write access to this volume from the cloud?
- A . FlexCache
- B . SnapMirror
- C . FabricPool
- D . SnapVault
Correct Answer: A
A
Explanation:
FlexCache is a NetApp ONTAP feature that enables the customer to use NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP for quick read and write access to this volume from the cloud. FlexCache allows you to create a cache volume on a Cloud Volumes ONTAP system that is linked to an origin volume on an on-premises system. The cache volume serves the read requests from the cloud analytics application, while the write requests are forwarded to the origin volume. FlexCache reduces the latency and bandwidth consumption of accessing the on-premises data from the cloud, while maintaining data consistency and protection.

Question #4
A company has a NetApp ONTAP solution deployed in a data center. The current solution has a large amount of inactive data. An administrator needs to free space in the data center without affecting access to the data.
Which NetApp technology accomplishes this task?
- A . BlueXP backup and recovery
- B . Cloud Volumes ONTAP
- C . BlueXP tiering
- D . Cloud Volumes Service
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
BlueXP tiering is a service that extends your data center to the cloud by automatically tiering inactive data from on-premises ONTAP clusters to object storage. This frees valuable space on the cluster for more workloads, without making changes to the application layer. BlueXP tiering can reduce costs in your data center and enables you to switch from a CAPEX model to an OPEX model. BlueXP tiering leverages the capabilities of FabricPool, which is a NetApp Data Fabric technology that enables automated tiering of data to low-cost object storage. Active (hot) data remains on the local tier (on-premises ONTAP aggregates), while inactive (cold) data is moved to the cloud tier ― all while preserving ONTAP data efficiencies12.

Question #6
Which two NetApp products offer hardware encryption? (Choose two.)
- A . NetApp Storage Encryption (NSE)
- B . NVMe self-encrypting drives (SED)
- C . NetApp Aggregate Encryption (NAE)
- D . NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE)
Correct Answer: A
A
Explanation:
NetApp Storage Encryption (NSE) and NVMe self-encrypting drives (SED) are two NetApp products that offer hardware encryption. Hardware encryption is a method of encrypting data at the disk level using a hardware-accelerated mechanism. NSE requires all drives in an HA pair to be purpose-built, self-encrypting drives. These drives perform the data encryption themselves through a hardware-accelerated mechanism. Because of the hardware acceleration, NSE systems usually outperform NVE systems when encrypting data1. NVMe self-encrypting drives (SED) are a type of NSE drives that use the NVMe protocol to provide high performance and low latency. NVMe SEDs are supported on select NetApp AFF

Question #9
On which parameter is the NetApp BlueXP observability pricing model based?
- A . number of logging intervals
- B . frequency of metric ingestion
- C . capacity of metrics that are ingested
- D . number of managed units
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
NetApp BlueXP, which is a suite of cloud-based services, typically uses a pricing model that focuses on the amount of data processed or managed, rather than the number of log entries, the frequency of metric ingestion, or the number of managed units. In the context of observability and monitoring services, this often translates to pricing based on the volume or capacity of metrics ingested into the system for analysis and monitoring purposes.
This approach aligns with common practices in cloud service pricing, where the emphasis is on the resources consumed (in this case, the data capacity) rather than the frequency of operations or the count of monitored entities.
So, option C is the most likely correct answer for the pricing model of NetApp BlueXP’s observability services.
