    AZ-305 · Question 24 · Domain 2.3: Recommend a data storage solution

    An enterprise is migrating a high-performance computing (HPC) workload and an SAP HANA database to Azure.

    The workloads require a shared file system that supports the NFSv4.1 protocol, sub-millisecond latency, and throughput of up to 4,500 MiB/s.

    Which Azure storage service should you recommend?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Azure NetApp Files

    B.

    Azure Files Premium

    C.

    Azure Blob Storage with NFS 3.0 enabled

    D.

    Azure Disk Storage (Ultra Disks)

    How to approach this question

    Look for keywords: 'SAP HANA', 'HPC', 'NFSv4.1', 'sub-millisecond latency'. This combination always points to Azure NetApp Files.

    Full Answer

    A.Azure NetApp Files✓ Correct
    Azure NetApp Files
    Azure NetApp Files is an enterprise-class, high-performance, metered file storage service. It supports SMB, NFSv3, and NFSv4.1. Because it runs on bare-metal NetApp fleet in Azure datacenters, it provides sub-millisecond latency and extreme throughput, making it the only Azure file service certified for SAP HANA production deployments and ideal for HPC workloads.

    Common mistakes

    Choosing Azure Files Premium. While fast, it is not certified for SAP HANA database files and cannot match the bare-metal performance of NetApp Files.
