NetApp Certified Technology Associate (NCTA) — Question 2

You want to use NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP as a data replication target for your primary ONTAP storage systems.
In this scenario, what are three cost-saving business benefits? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. the ability to run without purchasing a license as long as your production workload is less than 2 TB
• B. the ability to shut down the virtual instance to save on compute costs
• C. the ability to provision added capacity when you need it
• D. the ability to migrate clusters between public cloud providers to take advantage of price differences
• E. the ability to tier inactive data to less costly storage

Correct answer: C, D, E

Explanation

Options C, D, and E are correct as they highlight the flexibility and cost efficiency of using Cloud Volumes ONTAP. Provisioning additional capacity, migrating clusters for better pricing, and tiering inactive data to cheaper storage all contribute to significant savings. Options A and B, while beneficial, do not directly relate to the cost-saving benefits of data replication in this specific scenario.
