Which migration methodology can consolidate multiple Windows servers into a single NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance?

• A. Cloud Sync
• B. SVM DR
• C. Foreign LUN Import
• D. Cloud Backup Service

Answer: (A)

Cloud Sync enables moving and synchronizing data from multiple Windows file servers into one Cloud Volumes ONTAP destination, allowing you to consolidate several servers into a single instance. You can set up separate sync tasks from each Windows server to the same destination volume, and choose one-way or bidirectional transfer with incremental syncing to minimize downtime. This makes it ideal for bringing diverse server data together under a single cloud volume for centralized management and storage efficiency. Other options don’t fit because disaster recovery between SVMs is about failover, not migration or consolidation; Foreign LUN Import is about bringing LUNs from another array, not migrating Windows file data; and Cloud Backup Service centers on backups and restores rather than live migration into a single cloud volume.
