Which NetApp cloud storage management tool would you use to centrally manage Cloud Volumes ONTAP, NPS, and AFF?

• A. OnCommand Cloud Manager
• B. SANtricity Manager
• C. OnCommand System Manager
• D. NetApp Cloud Manager

Answer: (A)

Centralized management of NetApp cloud storage resources across multiple environments is the capability being tested. OnCommand Cloud Manager serves as the single interface to provision, monitor, and manage Cloud Volumes ONTAP deployments in public clouds, NetApp Private Storage in the cloud, and related AFF or ONTAP-based resources. It gives you a unified view and control plane to deploy new volumes, set replication and backup policies, and track usage across different cloud and on-prem environments, which is why it’s the best fit for handling Cloud Volumes ONTAP, NPS, and AFF from one place.

The other options are more limited in scope. System Manager manages a single ONTAP system rather than coordinating multiple resources across environments. SANtricity Manager targets SANtricity-based hardware and isn’t focused on Cloud Volumes ONTAP or NPS. NetApp Cloud Manager is a similar-sounding tool but, in this context, the centralized management of Cloud Volumes ONTAP, NPS, and AFF is provided by OnCommand Cloud Manager.
