Which NetApp ONTAP feature can be used?

Answer options

• A. SVM DR
• B. SnapVault
• C. FabricPool

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is FabricPool, as it allows for the automation of tiering cold data to lower-cost storage options, which is essential for reducing on-premises storage needs.
