Which NetApp data mobility product is primarily used to move data to the cloud in a managed service fashion?

• A. XCP
• B. Cloud Sync
• C. SnapMirror
• D. FabricPool

Answer: (B)

Moving data to the cloud as a managed service means using a solution where NetApp handles the infrastructure and orchestration to transfer and keep data in cloud storage, with you just configuring sources, destinations, and rules. Cloud Sync fits exactly this purpose. It is NetApp’s cloud-based, fully managed data-mobility service that moves data between on‑premises storage and cloud storage (or between clouds) without you having to run the transfer infrastructure yourself. It supports ongoing synchronization, handles bandwidth and policy-driven transfers, and scales to large datasets, making cloud adoption smoother and less hands-on.

XCP is a fast data-copy/migration tool used within NetApp environments for moving data between ONTAP systems. SnapMirror focuses on replication between NetApp storage systems, typically for DR or data protection, not a cloud-managed service. FabricPool tiers cold data to cloud object storage but does not move all data to the cloud in a managed service fashion.
