Which NetApp product focuses on enabling SAN modernization and supports NVMe-over-TCP for iSCSI workloads?

• A. SANtricity OS
• B. ONTAP software
• C. StorageGRID
• D. Element software

Answer: (B)

NVMe-over-TCP for iSCSI workloads represents updating the SAN path to use NVMe technology over TCP while preserving the familiar iSCSI access model. NetApp ONTAP software provides a unified data management platform for both NAS and SAN and includes support for NVMe-over-TCP in the SAN path, enabling iSCSI workloads to take advantage of NVMe performance without abandoning established workflows. This combination makes ONTAP the best fit for modern SAN deployments that want high performance and rich data services while keeping iSCSI as the access method. Other options target different use cases: SANtricity OS manages NetApp E-Series storage with its own SAN features; StorageGRID is an object storage platform; Element software powers NetApp’s SolidFire/Element all-flash arrays for scale-out, cloud-like block workloads rather than the NVMe-over-TCP SAN modernization focus discussed here.
