Which BlueXP product enables read and write access from remote Windows servers to a centralized datastore?

• A. BlueXP copy and sync
• B. BlueXP edge caching
• C. BlueXP tiering
• D. Cloud Volumes ONTAP

Answer: (B)

BlueXP edge caching is designed to bring data closer to remote sites by caching frequently accessed data from a centralized datastore at those sites. For Windows servers at a remote location, this means read requests can be served quickly from the local edge cache instead of always reaching back to the central storage. Writes are still coordinated with the central datastore, so changes propagate back to the centralized store to keep data consistent. This combination specifically enables responsive read/write access for remote Windows servers to a centralized datastore, with the edge cache handling the latency and bandwidth pressures.

Other options don’t fit the scenario as well. Copy and Sync focuses on moving or synchronizing data between locations rather than providing ongoing local read/write access to a central store. Tiering moves data between different storage classes, typically within the same system, and doesn’t address remote access performance to a centralized datastore. Cloud Volumes ONTAP is the centralized datastore itself, not the BlueXP feature that enables the edge-access pattern.
