   A company is running a NetApp AFF A220 in a MetroCluster configuration with a second site. The storage administrator needs to understand how data is written to the local cluster and then mirrored to the remote site. Which infrastructure component is responsible for the synchronous replication of data between the two sites?

   • AThe ONTAP MetroCluster software
   • BThe Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs)
   • CThe local disk shelves
   • DThe cluster interconnect

   A service provider is deploying a NetApp AFF A400 for a multi-tenant environment. They need to ensure that one tenant's heavy I/O workload does not impact another tenant's performance. The administrator is considering using QoS policies. What is the most effective way to implement QoS to meet this requirement?

   • ACreate separate QoS policies for each tenant and apply them to the respective volumes
   • BCreate a single QoS policy and apply it to all volumes
   • CUse storage QoS only on the storage aggregate level
   • DRely on the ONTAP automatic load balancing

   A company is designing a new NetApp solution and must choose between a FAS (hybrid) and an AFF (all-flash) system. The primary workload is a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment that has a high read-to-write ratio and requires consistent low latency. The budget is a major concern. Which system should the administrator choose and why?

   • AAFF system with NVMe drives, because it provides the consistent low latency required for VDI
   • BFAS system with SAS drives, because VDI workloads are not performance-intensive
   • CAFF system with SAS drives, because it is a cost-effective way to get all-flash performance
   • DFAS system with SAS drives, because it is cheaper and can be upgraded with Flash Cache to improve read performance
