HPE Converged Storage Solutions — Question 18

A customer asks you for a recommendation on setting up their new StoreOnce appliance. They plan to use NetBackup and need the highest performance setup they can get. Their local hosts are connected via FC and the rest are connected via a WAN.
Which backup target type should you recommend?

Answer options

• A. VTL
• B. S3
• C. CIFS
• D. Catalyst

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The VTL (Virtual Tape Library) option is ideal for high-performance setups with NetBackup as it can efficiently handle FC connections, providing faster data transfer rates. The other options, such as S3 and CIFS, are generally slower and not optimized for high-performance environments, while Catalyst is more suitable for specific use cases that do not prioritize speed.
