A customer has several NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP instances across multiple cloud providers. They need to run some of the Cloud Volumes ONTAP instances on-premises.
Which solution should the customer use?
If a customer needs to run some of their NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP instances on-premises, the best solution would be Azure Stack. Azure Stack extends Azure cloud capabilities to on-premises environments and supports hybrid workloads, including those based on Cloud Volumes ONTAP.
Other options like VMware Cloud (A), AWS Outpost (B), and Google Anthos (C) are cloud extensions but are not directly integrated with Cloud Volumes ONTAP in the same way as Azure Stack, which provides a native extension of Azure services to on-premises infrastructure.
An administrator needs to manage their company's critical containerized applications. These applications use non-NetApp storage for persistent volumes. The administrator needs to have a monitoring solution for both the entire container infrastructure and the application demands.
Which NetApp solution should the administrator use?
Astra Control Service is the best NetApp solution for managing critical containerized applications and persistent storage. It provides monitoring, backup, and recovery for Kubernetes workloads, even if they use non-NetApp storage. Astra Control gives administrators the ability to monitor both the container infrastructure and the demands of the applications, offering insights into performance, capacity, and health.
Other options like BlueXP Digital Advisor (A), BlueXP Classification (C), and BlueXP Observability (D) provide various types of infrastructure management and observability but are not designed specifically for containerized environments and application-level monitoring.
A customer has a NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP HA cluster deployed in Google Cloud. Users report high latency when accessing office files in their home directory shares. The administrator needs to analyze IOPS, throughput, latency, and capacity utilization of the Cloud Volumes ONTAP cluster.
Which two BlueXP solutions show all of these metrics? (Choose two.)
To analyze IOPS, throughput, latency, and capacity utilization of a Cloud Volumes ONTAP HA cluster in Google Cloud, the two BlueXP solutions that provide these metrics are:
BlueXP Digital Advisor (D): This tool provides detailed insights into system performance, including IOPS, throughput, latency, and capacity utilization. It is designed to give administrators a comprehensive view of their cloud-based storage environments to help optimize performance.
BlueXP Tiering (B): While primarily used for data tiering, BlueXP Tiering also offers metrics related to capacity utilization and performance. It helps monitor storage usage and can provide insights into how data tiering affects system performance.
Other options like BlueXP Classification (A) focus more on data governance and classification, while BlueXP Edge Caching (C) is designed for optimizing data access at edge locations and doesn't provide the full suite of performance metrics needed for detailed analysis.
A customer has different on-premises workloads with a need for less than 2ms latency.
Which two service levels in NetApp Keystone storage as a service (STaaS) does the customer need? (Choose two.)
NetApp Keystone Storage as a Service (STaaS) offers various service levels depending on performance and latency requirements. For workloads that require less than 2ms latency, the two relevant service levels are:
Extreme (A): This service level is designed for the most latency-sensitive and high-performance workloads. It provides ultra-low latency (<2ms) and is ideal for applications that demand top-tier performance.
Premium (C): The Premium service level also supports low latency, typically less than 2ms, making it suitable for workloads with moderate to high performance requirements.
Standard (B) and Performance (D) service levels provide higher latency and are not suitable for workloads requiring less than 2ms latency.
Which network configuration is required for NetApp BlueXP to discover an on-premises NetApp cluster?
For NetApp BlueXP to discover an on-premises NetApp cluster, the network must be configured to allow outbound 443 access to the BlueXP service. Port 443 is used for secure HTTPS communication, and BlueXP needs to establish an outbound connection from the on-premises NetApp cluster to the cloud-based BlueXP service for discovery and management.
Inbound 443 access (B and C) is not required for discovery, and outbound 443 access to the Connector IP address (D) is relevant only when interacting with the BlueXP Connector, not for cluster discovery.
