QuestionQ21

Data Storage Software

An administrator is designing an 8-node NetApp AFF ONTAP cluster to serve CIFS data made up of 1 PB volumes and millions of small files. The data must be provisioned across every node for the best possible performance.

Which NetApp solution fulfills these requirements?

  • A FlexGroup
  • B Flash Cache
  • C FlashPool
  • D FlexVol
Explanation

A FlexGroup volume is a scale-out NAS container that uses multiple constituent volumes to distribute data and traffic across an ONTAP cluster. It supports very large capacities and file counts while providing automatic load distribution and high performance, making it suitable for petabyte-scale CIFS workloads across all nodes.
