A financial services firm is deploying a high-frequency trading application that requires consistent sub-millisecond latency for a 10TB dataset. The solution must provide the highest possible performance for block-based I/O and will be housed in a dedicated, performance-optimized data center. Which NetApp solution should be proposed to meet these stringent performance requirements?
A customer wants to implement a disaster recovery strategy for their primary ONTAP cluster to a secondary site located 500 miles away. They require asynchronous replication of their production volumes with the ability to fail over in the event of a site-wide disaster. Which NetApp technology is the primary solution for this requirement?
A government agency needs to store large-scale surveillance video archives for long-term retention. The data must be geographically distributed across three data centers for durability, and the solution must be optimized for cost-effective capacity over raw performance. The access protocol must be S3. Which NetApp platform is best suited for this use case?
A solutions architect is designing a storage solution for a rapidly growing video editing company. The primary requirement is a single, massive namespace that can scale to multiple petabytes to store raw 8K video files. The workload involves many concurrent users accessing and modifying large files, demanding high throughput. Which ONTAP feature is specifically designed to address this large-scale, single-namespace requirement?
A company wants to shift its IT infrastructure spending from a large, upfront capital expenditure (CapEx) model to a flexible, pay-as-you-go operational expenditure (OpEx) model for its on-premises storage. They desire cloud-like elasticity and billing but require the data to remain in their data center. Which NetApp offering fulfills this requirement?
A healthcare organization is subject to strict data retention laws that require certain patient records to be stored in an unchangeable, non-erasable format for seven years. Which NetApp ONTAP feature should be implemented to meet this compliance requirement?
During a technical discovery session, a client explains they are running a large VMware vSphere environment and are struggling with inefficient, slow VM cloning and provisioning processes. Which two NetApp technologies would directly address this challenge by offloading storage operations to the array? (Select TWO).
A university's research department is building a new AI training cluster using NVIDIA DGX servers. The data scientists require a high-performance, parallel file system to feed massive datasets to the GPUs for model training. The solution must integrate seamlessly with the DGX platform. Which NetApp solution is specifically designed and certified for this environment?
True or False: A NetApp ONTAP Snapshot copy consumes storage space equal to the full size of the original volume at the moment of creation.
A customer is migrating a 50TB file share from a third-party NAS system to a new NetApp FAS cluster. They need the fastest, most efficient method for the initial bulk data copy and want to perform incremental updates later. The tool should be optimized for NetApp-to-NetApp transfers if possible but must handle the initial heterogeneous migration effectively. What is the recommended NetApp tool for this task?
