Which of the following is a true benefit of NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP?

• A. Storage efficiencies
• B. Automatic backups only
• C. No cloud integration
• D. On-prem only requirement

Answer: (A)

Storage efficiencies are the primary benefit because NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP is designed to minimize how much space data actually takes in the cloud. It includes features like inline data deduplication and compression, which eliminate duplicate data and shrink stored data, plus thin provisioning that allocates storage only as data grows. In addition, clone efficiency and space-efficient snapshots reduce the footprint of copies and backups. All of these together lower cloud storage usage and costs without sacrificing performance or data protection. While Cloud Volumes ONTAP does support automatic backups and cloud integration, those aspects are not the main reason the solution is valued—the storage- efficiency capabilities are.
