A database administrator logged into their NDB dashboard notices the Savings over traditional cloning metric in the Data Usage widget. What does this number represent?

Question

Options

• AThe amount of disk space saved with near-zero byte clones
• BThe amount of disk space saver from compression
• CThe amount of disk space saved with shadow clones
• DThe amount of disk space saved from deduplication

• A
  93% (54)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  3% (2)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

The "Savings over traditional cloning" metric in the Data Usage widget on the NDB dashboard reflects the efficiency of NDB's cloning technology compared to traditional full-copy cloning methods. NDB leverages Nutanix's near-zero byte cloning capability, which creates lightweight clones by sharing base data and only storing changes (deltas). This metric specifically quantifies the disk space saved by using these efficient clones instead of duplicating entire datasets, as would occur in traditional cloning. It highlights NDB's storage optimization for database provisioning and management.
