Which NetApp service would you use to meet metered NAS storage needs in the cloud, specifically using ONTAP technology?

• A. NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP
• B. Azure NetApp Files
• C. NetApp AFF systems
• D. Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP

Answer: (A)

Cloud Volumes ONTAP delivers NAS in the cloud using ONTAP software with a metered, pay-as-you-go model. It runs ONTAP as a cloud-based deployment, giving you standard NAS access (NFS/SMB) and the familiar data-management capabilities of ONTAP—snapshots, replication, cloning, deduplication, encryption, and more—while you pay only for the capacity and performance you actually use. This makes it the go-to option for meeting cloud-based NAS needs with ONTAP technology across cloud environments. Azure NetApp Files is a separate managed Azure service also built on ONTAP but with a different delivery model, NetApp AFF systems are on-premises, and Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP is AWS-specific. Cloud Volumes ONTAP is NetApp’s versatile ONTAP-based cloud NAS solution designed for metered consumption.
