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 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.

Answer: 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.
