Which NetApp solution enables quick read/write access to on-prem data from the cloud by caching data closer to cloud workloads?

• A. BlueXP copy and sync
• B. BlueXP edge caching
• C. FlexCache
• D. SnapVault

Answer: (C)

Caching data close to where cloud workloads run reduces latency and speeds access to on-prem data. NetApp FlexCache implements this by placing a remote cache that mirrors data from a primary ONTAP volume. When cloud-based apps need data, they can read from the near-cache instead of crossing the WAN to the on-prem store, which dramatically improves response times. Writes can be managed through the cache in coordination with the origin, enabling faster interaction for both reads and writes while keeping data consistent with the primary source. This makes FlexCache the best fit for enabling quick read/write access to on-prem data from the cloud by bringing the data closer to cloud workloads. Other options focus on data movement, backup, or generic edge caching, but they don’t provide the dedicated cross-site caching capability that FlexCache offers.
