Which NetApp tool can learn, recommend, and apply Performance Service Levels on multiple clusters?

• A. BlueXP Classification
• B. ONTAP System Manager
• C. BlueXP Observability
• D. Active IQ Unified Manager

Answer: (D)

Active IQ Unified Manager is designed to manage performance across multiple ONTAP clusters. It collects workload and performance data from all managed clusters, learns how those workloads behave, and can recommend appropriate Performance Service Levels to meet the observed demand. Once a PSL is determined, it can apply that level across the chosen clusters, providing consistent performance policies in a centralized way. This multi-cluster automation and policy enforcement is what makes Unified Manager the right tool for learning, recommending, and applying Performance Service Levels across many clusters. Other tools focus on single-cluster configuration (ONTAP System Manager) or on data classification and observability (BlueXP tools) and don’t orchestrate PSLs across multiple clusters.
