   A university is standing up a 256-GPU SuperPOD for research in computer vision. The team needs to scale from 64 to 256 GPUs without redesigning the storage or network fabric. They also require consistent low-latency access to the dataset from all compute nodes. Which architectural characteristic of a SuperPOD with NetApp directly supports this requirement?

   • AA non-blocking, fat-tree network fabric that provides uniform bandwidth between any two GPUs.
   • BA direct-attached storage (DAS) model where each GPU node has its own local NVMe drive.
   • CA storage area network (SAN) with a single controller pair serving all GPUs.
   • DA hub-and-spoke network where all traffic traverses a central core switch.

   A company is designing a SuperPOD for a workload that requires both high-performance training and large-scale data analytics on the same dataset. The analytics jobs are less latency-sensitive but read large sequential chunks. The training jobs need low latency for random reads. How should the storage be configured to optimize for both without compromising either?

   • ACreate two separate volumes on the same aggregate, one for training and one for analytics, with no QoS.
   • BUse a single NetApp volume with QoS policies to prioritize training I/O over analytics I/O.
   • CUse NetApp FlexCache to create a cache for the analytics workload.
   • DPlace training data on NVMe and analytics data on HDD within the same NetApp system.
