Which NetApp capability moves data to a cloud destination to free local storage space?

• A. BlueXP edge caching
• B. SVM data mobility
• C. BlueXP tiering
• D. SLM

Answer: (C)

This question tests the concept of moving data to a cloud destination to reclaim local storage space through tiering. NetApp BlueXP tiering is the capability that automatically relocates data that isn’t accessed frequently from on‑prem storage to a cloud destination based on policy. By serviceable data placement across tiers, you free up local storage while still allowing access to data when needed (retrieving it from the cloud as required).

Other options don’t fit this specific cloud‑tiering behavior: edge caching focuses on keeping hot data close to users to reduce latency, not on freeing capacity by moving data to the cloud; SVM data mobility moves data between storage virtual machines or clusters, not to cloud storage; SLM is about lifecycle automation and may include tiering, but the explicit cloud‑tiering capability described is captured by BlueXP tiering.
