NETAPP CERTIFIED STORAGE
ASSOCIATE(NSO-145) Exam Questions
And Answers |Latest 2025 | Guaranteed Pass
Identify NetApp storage efficiency technologies? - Answer✔Compression
Deduplication
FlexClone
FlexVol Volumes
RAID-DP
Thin Provisioning
What is Compression? - Answer✔Data ONTAP does not rewrite the same patterns, to decrease
the amount of space used while maximizing efficiency.
What is Deduplication? - Answer✔Save storage by not storing multiple copies of the same
application, but instead creates pointers aimed at the one copy of the application(ex. 1 copy of
Windows Server 2008 for 10 VMs saves us 90% storage)
What is FlexClone? - Answer✔

What is Raid-DP? - Answer✔It is a double-parity Raid 6, which prevents data loss when up to
two drives fail.
What is Thing Provisioning? - Answer✔It is an allocate on demand model. NetApp will
oversubscribe free space in order to get the maximum use out available memory.
What are the main NetApp data protection and disaster recovery technologies? -
Answer✔SnapShots
SnapMirror
SnapRestore
SnapVualt
SnapManager
What are SnapShots? - Answer✔A SnapShot is a point-in-time file system copy with little to no
impact on preformance and minimal storage consumption. It is ideal for online backups and
user-driven recovery(manually initiated).
What does the SnapMirror solution do? - Answer✔The SnapMirror solution mirrors data to
another storage controller or cluster, or even a remote location. If the main storage unit should
fail the destination takes over operations.
What is SnapRestore? - Answer✔A software that requires no training and will allow you to
recover entire databases in seconds. SnapRestore uses you SnapShot copies.
What is SnapVualt? - Answer✔SnapVualt is a software which allows for extended and
centralized disk-to-disk backup for storage systems. SnapVault is a differential backup.
What is SnapManager? - Answer✔SnapManager is apart of the NetApp OnCommand software
family. It gives you an interface from where to manage all of your SnapShots.
