A customer wants to create a flexible solution to consolidate data in the cloud.

For a company looking to create a flexible, cloud-based solution that consolidates data and shares files globally while caching a subset in distributed locations, the following two components are required:

NetApp BlueXP edge caching Edge instances (A): This enables customers to create edge caches in distributed locations. The edge instances cache frequently accessed data locally, while the full data set remains in the central cloud storage. This setup optimizes performance for remote locations by reducing latency for cached data and improving access speeds.

NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP (D): Cloud Volumes ONTAP provides scalable and efficient cloud storage management for the customer's data. It supports global file sharing and allows for seamless integration with edge caching solutions. This component ensures that the data is centralized in the cloud and is available for caching to distributed locations using edge instances.

Flash Cache intelligent caching (B)is more relevant for on-premises storage performance rather than cloud-based solutions, andBlueXP copy and sync (C)is used for data migration or synchronization, but does not provide global file sharing or edge caching capabilities.
