Which NetApp data management tool provides the digital advisor that simplifies proactive care and optimization of NetApp storage?

• A. BlueXP classification
• B. ONTAP System Manager
• C. Active IQ
• D. BlueXP observability

Answer: (C)

The feature that provides a digital advisor for proactive care and optimization is part of Active IQ. Active IQ continuously collects telemetry from NetApp storage across environments and analyzes health, capacity, and performance against best practices. The digital advisor then offers actionable recommendations to prevent issues, optimize configurations, and improve efficiency, often guiding automated or semi-automated corrective actions. This proactive insight is what distinguishes Active IQ as the tool for proactive storage care.

BlueXP observability focuses on monitoring and visibility, not the proactive advisor. BlueXP classification relates to data classification tasks. ONTAP System Manager handles day-to-day cluster management, not proactive care guidance.
