NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP v4 — Question 11

What are two ways to optimize cloud data storage costs with NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. aggregate deduplication
• B. thin provisioning
• C. TCO calculator
• D. volume deduplication

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Thin provisioning allows for efficient use of storage by allocating space only when needed, reducing costs. Volume deduplication eliminates duplicate data, further optimizing storage space and expenses. Aggregate deduplication and TCO calculator do not directly influence storage cost efficiency in the same way.
