QuestionQ135

Storage Fundamentals

Which NetApp storage-efficiency technology allows storage to be allocated for current capacity needs rather than future requirements?

  • A FlexClone software
  • B Deduplication
  • C Compression
  • D Flexible volumes
Explanation

Flexible volumes support thin provisioning, in which storage is allocated dynamically as data is written instead of being reserved in advance for anticipated future capacity. NetApp distinguishes this from storage-efficiency features such as deduplication, compression, and FlexClone copies, which reduce physical storage consumption through different mechanisms.
