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

    You are designing the storage architecture for a massive SAP HANA deployment on Azure Virtual Machines.

    The database data and log files require a shared file storage solution that provides sub-millisecond latency, extremely high throughput, and supports the NFSv4.1 protocol. The business is willing to pay a premium for the highest possible performance.

    Which THREE characteristics describe the appropriate Azure storage service for this workload? (Select THREE)

    Answer options:

    A.

    It is Azure NetApp Files.

    B.

    It is Azure Files Premium.

    C.

    It is a bare-metal cloud file storage service.

    D.

    It supports multiple performance tiers (Standard, Premium, Ultra) that can be changed dynamically.

    E.

    It requires an on-premises NetApp appliance to function.

    How to approach this question

    Identify the extreme-performance file service in Azure specifically certified for SAP HANA.

    Full Answer

    For mission-critical, high-performance workloads like SAP HANA requiring sub-millisecond latency and NFSv4.1, Azure NetApp Files (ANF) is the recommended solution. ANF is a first-party Azure service built on bare-metal NetApp hardware. It offers three performance tiers (Standard, Premium, Ultra) that can be dynamically adjusted without downtime, allowing for cost optimization.

    Common mistakes

    Selecting Azure Files Premium. While Azure Files Premium supports NFS, ANF is the specific architectural recommendation for SAP HANA database files due to its bare-metal performance.
