  explanation:

  Explanation

  A file is a data type that represents a collection of data stored on a disk or other storage device. A file can have a name, an extension, a size, and other attributes. A file can contain any kind of data, such as text, images, audio, video, etc. A

  file can be opened, read, written, closed, deleted, or moved by a program. An object is a data type that represents an instance of a class, which is a blueprint for creating objects. An object can have properties, which are variables that store

  data, and methods, which are functions that perform actions on the object. An object can interact with other objects by sending and receiving messages. An object can inherit properties and methods from its parent class, or override them with

  its own definitions.

• Question 5:

  Which technology uses on-premises bare-metal hardware to abstract the operating system from the underlying hardware?

  A. hyperscaler
  B. hypervisor
  C. container
  D. supervisor
  B. hypervisor

  ---

  explanation:

  Explanation

  A hypervisor is a software layer that enables multiple operating systems to run on the same physical hardware by creating virtual machines (VMs) that are isolated from each other. A hypervisor abstracts the operating system from the

  underlying hardware, allowing for greater flexibility, efficiency, and scalability of the virtualized environment. NetApp supports several hypervisor platforms, such as VMware ESXi, KVM, and Hyper-V, and provides storage solutions that

  integrate with them.

• Question 6:

  A data administrator needs to store customer financial records that are subject to SEC regulations. All files must be retained in an unalterable state for 6 years and must stay easily accessible.

  Which feature should the administrator configure?

  A. SnapLock Compliance
  B. SnapLock Enterprise
  C. NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE)
  D. NetApp Storage Encryption (NSE)
  A. SnapLock Compliance

  ---

  explanation:

  Explanation

  SnapLock Compliance is a NetApp feature that enables you to store customer financial records that are subject to SEC regulations. SnapLock Compliance provides WORM (write once, read many) functionality at the volume level, which

  means that files cannot be modified, deleted, or overwritten for a specified retention period. SnapLock Compliance also ensures that files are easily accessible and searchable, and that they comply with the SEC Rule 17a-4, which requires

  financial firms to preserve certain records in a non-rewriteable and non-erasable format.

  storage requirements..

• Question 7:

  A customer wants a storage solution with a zero RPO and near-zero RTO for all their NAS workloads. Which NetApp solution meets these needs?

  A. storage VM disaster recovery (SVM DR)
  B. MetroCluster over IP
  C. SnapMirror Business Continuity (SMBC)
  D. SnapMirror Synchronous (SM-S)
  C. SnapMirror Business Continuity (SMBC)
