What NetApp tool can orchestrate large-scale volume recoveries using snapshot data?

NetApp SnapCenter is a centralized data protection and clone management tool. It is designed to provide application-consistent data protection for enterprise applications like Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and VMware vSphere. SnapCenter's restore workflows allow administrators to orchestrate complex, large-scale recovery operations. This includes coordinating the restoration of multiple application-related volumes from Snapshot copies in a consistent and automated manner, significantly simplifying and accelerating the recovery process for entire application environments.

A. System Manager CLI: The command-line interface can perform restores, but it lacks the high-level orchestration, application-awareness, and workflow automation capabilities of SnapCenter for large-scale scenarios.

C. Cloud Insights Monitor: This is a tool for monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimizing infrastructure performance and cost. It does not perform data recovery or orchestration.

D. Active IQ Config Replicator: This tool is used for replicating and backing up cluster configuration settings, not for restoring user data from volume snapshots.
