Nutanix Certified Associate (NCA) — Question 37

Which Nutanix data efficiency mechanism replaces a traditional Replication Factor for suitable data?

Answer options

• A. Compression
• B. Deduplication
• C. Erasure Coding
• D. Intelligent Cloning

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Erasure Coding is the correct answer as it effectively replaces traditional Replication Factor by allowing data to be stored more efficiently while still ensuring data integrity and availability. Compression and Deduplication are techniques that reduce data size but do not replace the Replication Factor, while Intelligent Cloning is used for rapid data replication but does not serve the same purpose as Erasure Coding.
