How NetApp ONTAP software is bundled
If you’re wondering what any of these do…
What is NetApp’s ONTAP OS?
One of the most popular storage operating systems on earth. It combines extreme flexibility, resiliency, and security into a simplified management experience that has been battle-tested for more than 20 years in some of the most demanding enterprise environments.
What protocols does NetApp ONTAP use?
FCP, iSCSI, NFS, CIFS, NVMeoF, S3, all on one system. Enables massive consolidation.
What is NetApp ONTAP FlexCache?
Caches actively read datasets within a cluster and at remote sites. This accelerates read performance for hot datasets by increasing throughput, and improves the speed across multiple locations.
What is NetApp ONTAP FlexClone?
Instantaneously creates file, LUN, and volume clones without the need for extra storage. This saves you time for tasks like testing and development while simultaneously increasing your effective storage capacity.
What is NetApp ONTAP SnapRestore?
Rapidly recovers and restores files, databases, and complete volumes from any Snapshot copy
What is NetApp ONTAP Volume Encryption?
Data-at-rest encryption that lets you easily and efficiently protect at-rest data WITHOUT the need for any additional special encrypting disks
What is NetApp ONTAP SnapCenter?
Provides host-based data management of NetApp storage and databases and business applications which offers application aware backup and clone management. This can automate error-free data restores.
What is NetApp ONTAP SnapMirror Asynchronous?
Flagship ONTAP feature that provides integrated remote backup/recovery and disaster recovery by taking incremental, asynchronous Snapshots that are mirrored off-site. Intuitively preserves storage efficiency savings during and after data transfer.
What is NetApp ONTAP SnapMirror Synchronous?
Allows you to achieve zero data loss (RPO=0) by delivering incremental, volume granular, synchronous data replication. Like it’s Asynchronous brethren, it preserves storage efficiency savings during and after data transfer.
What is NetApp ONTAP SnapMirror Business Continuity?
Combines flexible array-based clustering with more granular synchronous mirroring to deliver continuous availability and ZERO data loss for SAN workloads.
What is NetApp ONTAP Autonomous Ransomware Protection?
Provides built-in robust features that detect ransomware activity, prevent its spread, and enables quick recovery. This includes automatically taking Snapshots and alerting administrators when abnormal files are detected.
What is NetApp ONTAP Multi-tenant Key Management?
Provides management of multiple different administrator keys
What is NetApp ONTAP SnapLock?
Provides WORM file-level locking, preventing changes and deletion of the file. This can support regulatory compliance and organizational data retention policies. Additionally, you can enable air-gap separation of Snapshot copies for enhanced ransomware protection and quick recovery from an attack.
What is NetApp ONTAP SnapMirror Cloud?
Provides flexibility and efficiency when asynchronously replicating data to a cloud object store (in either a public or private cloud like StorageGRID) to support remote backup/recovery, disaster recovery, and data distribution.
Final notes:
This is provided as a simplified, helpful tool to provide additional information, and is not intended to be absolute. Features and bundling and subject to change per NetApp. Actual software packages attached to each individual system may vary. If you have any questions, we are happy to independently review any and every quote with you. Just ask!
The high-end FAS9500 and A900 include the data protection bundle (alongside the core and encryption bundle) as standard. There is no need to add the data protection bundle when ordering those systems.
