NS0-003 NetApp Certified Technology Associate Questions and Answers

Cloud Backup and Cloud Volumes ONTAP are two features that require you to deploy a connector when using Cloud Manager to manage your resources. A connector is a component of Cloud Manager that enables you to deploy and manage Cloud Volumes ONTAP instances and back up data to object storage. The other options are not features that require you to deploy a connector when using Cloud Manager. References:https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/occm/concept_overview.html

Automatic tiering to Amazon S3 for cost reduction, ONTAP thin provisioning for space efficiency and over-provisioning, and ONTAP data reduction mechanisms with compression anddeduplication are three benefits of using NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP for AWS. Cloud Volumes ONTAP is a software-defined storage solution that runs on top of AWS infrastructure and provides advanced data management features for file and block workloads.

D is correct because NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP is a software-only version of ONTAP that runs on cloud infrastructure and supports SnapMirror replication with on-premises ONTAP systems. The other options are not compatible with SnapMirror or do not preserve the data efficiency and access properties for block and file.

SnapCenter software is a centralized, web-based application that provides backup and restore capabilities for NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP and other NetApp storage systems. It allows you to create, manage, and monitor backup policies, schedules, and resources.

Object, block, and file are three types of data access that describe how data is stored and accessed on a storage system. Object storage uses unique identifiers to store and retrieve data as objects. Block storage divides data into fixed-sized blocks and assigns them addresses. File storage organizes data into hierarchical file systems and uses protocols such as NFS and SMB/CIFS.

A is true because NetApp StorageGRID appliances provide enterprise-grade hardware with high availability, durability, and performance. C is true because NetApp StorageGRID appliances simplify the deployment of object storage by automating the installation and configuration process. The other statements are not benefits of using StorageGRID appliances. References:https://www.netapp.com/pdf.html?item=/media/16348-tr4743pdf.pdf

A default gateway is an attribute of a host that is used to route packets to a non-local subnet. A default gateway is the IP address of the router that connects the host to other networks.

because storage node and admin node are two nodes that you would deploy in a new StorageGRID environment. A storage node is a node that stores object data and metadata. An admin node is a node that hosts the primary Admin Node service and the Gateway Node service. The other options are not nodes that you would deploy in a StorageGRID environment.

Cloud Volumes ONTAP is a software-defined storage solution that runs on top of cloud infrastructure and provides advanced data management features for file and block workloads. It supports data replication between on-premises NetApp ONTAP systems and cloud-based Cloud Volumes ONTAP systems using SnapMirror technology. This allows you to create an off-site data replication strategy that maintains NetApp ONTAP data efficiencies for your home directory data12.
