Planning and Administering Microsoft Azure for SAP Workloads — Question 71

You have highly available deployment of SAP NetWeaver on Azure that uses a third-party solution for clustering ABAP SAP Central Services (ASCS) components.

You need to recommend a solution to reduce the cost of shared storage for the components.

What should you include in the recommendation?

Answer options

• A. Azure NetApp Files
• B. Azure shared disks
• C. Azure Data Share
• D. Storage Spaces Direct

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Azure NetApp Files is a high-performance file storage solution that offers cost-effective options for shared storage, making it ideal for SAP workloads. While Azure shared disks also provide shared storage capabilities, they may not offer the same level of performance or cost efficiency as Azure NetApp Files. Azure Data Share is primarily for data sharing rather than storage, and Storage Spaces Direct is focused on on-premises solutions, making them unsuitable for this scenario.
