Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure (NCM-MCI) — Question 25

An administrator has a VM that consumes large amounts of storage and has the following characteristics:
✑ Create large / sequential writes
✑ Data must be kept for years
✑ Data is normally only accessed at the end of the year to run report
The administrator decides to use Erasure Coding to save space.
Which feature should the administrator utilize to save space for this VM?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Post-Process Compression is ideal for this scenario as it compresses data after it has been written, which is beneficial for large, infrequently accessed data. Inline Compression occurs during writing, which may not be as efficient for the data access pattern described. Flash Mode is not relevant to storage savings in this context, and Cache Dedup is more suited for data that is frequently changed or accessed, rather than for long-term archival storage.
