NS0-003 Practice Exam Questions with Answers NetApp Certified Technology Associate Certification

Astra is a NetApp product that provides data management and protection for stateful containerized applications running on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). It allows you to back up your application data and enable your development teams to easily create copies of the application for testing and staging.

A data Storage VM (SVM) is a type of SVM that needs to be created to provide NFS access. A data SVM is a logical entity that provides data access to clients using protocols such as NFS, SMB, iSCSI, or FC.

Windows Virtual Desktop and Citrix Virtual Desktops Essentials are two solutions that are natively supported with NetApp Virtual Desktop Service. NetApp Virtual Desktop Service is a cloud-based service that enables you to deploy and manage virtual desktops on any cloud. The other options are not solutions that are natively supported with NetApp Virtual Desktop Service. References:https://www.netapp.com/virtual-desktop-service/

When you configure the Erasure Coding profile for an ILM rule, you select an available erasure coding scheme. Erasure coding schemes control how many data fragments and how many parity fragments are created for each object. The erasure coding schemes that are available depend on how many Storage Nodes and sites make up the storage pool you plan to use.

C and D are correct because erasure coding and object replication are two StorageGRID features that provide data durability for large unstructured datasets. Erasure coding is a technique that splits an object into data fragments and parity fragments and distributes them across different nodes or sites. Object replication is a technique that creates multiple copies of an object and stores them on different nodes or sites. The other options are not features of StorageGRID or do not provide data durability.

SnapCenter software is a centralized, web-based application that provides backup and restore capabilities for NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP and other NetApp storage systems. It allows you to create, manage, and monitor backup policies, schedules, and resources.

A is true because NetApp StorageGRID appliances provide enterprise-grade hardware with high availability, durability, and performance. C is true because NetApp StorageGRID appliances simplify the deployment of object storage by automating the installation and configuration process. The other statements are not benefits of using StorageGRID appliances. References:https://www.netapp.com/pdf.html?item=/media/16348-tr4743pdf.pdf

Google Cloud is encrypted by default. Google Cloud uses encryption keys to protect the confidentiality of data stored in its services. The other statements are not true about Google Cloud. References:https://cloud.google.com/security/encryption-at-rest/default-encryption

A, D, and E are correct because NetApp StorageGRID supports deployment on virtual servers using VMware ESXi, StorageGRID hardware appliances, and virtual servers using Amazon EC2. The other options are not supported deployment solutions for StorageGRID. References:https://www.netapp.com/pdf.html?item=/media/16348-tr4743pdf.pdf

More efficient use of storage capacity for each node and reduced administrative overhead resulting in lower cost are two benefits of using the capacity pools licensing model for ONTAP Select. Capacity pools allow you to allocate storage capacity from a shared pool to multiple ONTAP Select nodes, which reduces wasted space and simplifies management.

A Storage Admin is a user role in NetApp Cloud Manager that enables you to create and manage working environments, such as Cloud Volumes ONTAP systems or Cloud Volumes Service volumes. A Storage Admin can also perform storage operations, such as creating volumes or snapshots.

Cloud Backup is a NetApp cloud data service that provides backup and restore capabilities for Cloud Volumes ONTAP data. It allows you to create backup policies, schedules, and destinations for your cloud data protection.

Cloud Compliance is a NetApp cloud data service that provides data privacy and security features for Azure NetApp Files and NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP. It allows you to scan your data for sensitive information, classify your data by type and location, and generate reports for GDPR compliance.

After you install SolidFire eSDS on your storage clusters, you can use Element UI or the NetApp Element Plug-in for vCenter Server (VCP) to manage your storage clusters.

NetApp Element UI and NetApp Element Plug-in for VMware vCenter Server are two tools that you can use to manage your NetApp SolidFire eSDS storage cluster. NetApp Element UI is a web-based application that allows you to monitor and configure your cluster, volumes, accounts, and more. NetApp Element Plug-in for VMware vCenter Server is a plug-in that integrates with VMware vSphere and allows you to manage your cluster, volumes, snapshots, and clones from within vCenter.

B is correct because the source and destination volumes must be running compatible ONTAP versions to support SnapMirror replication. The other statements are not correct or not required for replication. References: https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/snapmirror/snapmirror-overview.html

B, C, and E are correct because Maximum IOPS, Burst IOPS, and Minimum IOPS are three IOPS parameters in the NetApp Element software that are defined per volume. The other options are not IOPS parameters in the NetApp Element software. References:https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/element-software/concept_qos.html

iSCSI and FC are two protocols that are supported by E-Series systems. They are both block-based protocols that provide low-latency and high-performance storage access for applications such as databases or virtualization.
