    ONTAP storage software

    The ONTAP storage software package offers advanced software functions such as leading data management, storage efficiency, and data protection

    • Efficiency: NetApp FlexVol® features online and post-processing deduplication, online and post-processing data compression, data reduction, and streamlined configuration for configuring SAN, NAS, and object storage protocols

    • Dual-active storage: Supports NAS, SAN, and S3 dual-active functions, with a maximum dual-active distance of 700 kilometers. Large-scale single namespace management with local and remote caching, and long-distance read and write performance improved by multi-site replica caching

    • Multi-protocol interoperability: Supports dual-protocol interoperability between NAS and S3 for the same data

    • Cloning: Supports virtual cloning functions for files, luns, and volumes. Virtual cloned data does not occupy additional storage space

    • Unstructured data management: The scalable NAS container FlexGroup technology supports a single NAS namespace capacity of 20 PB and can accommodate 400 billion files [4]

    • Data protection: RAID-TEC triple hard disk redundancy failure protection technology, RAID DP dual hard disk redundancy failure protection technology, over 2 million SAN/NAS snapshots, as well as second-level snapshot recovery and second-level snapshot cloning functions

    • Data Security: Automatic ransomware protection, multi-factor management access, multi-administrator verification, dynamic authorization framework; SnapLock tamper-proof snapshot

    • Performance: Adaptive Quality of Service (QoS), providing QoS policy management based on maximum/minimum IOPS or maximum/minimum bandwidth, and automatically allocating storage resources in response to changes in workload

    • Management: OnCommand System Manager, OnCommand Unified Manager, REAT API, Command Line, Web

    • Automatic data layering: Supports automatic layering of cold data and cold snapshots to private cloud and public cloud (Fabric Pool)

    • Storage and backup software SnapCenter enterprise-level storage backup software utilizes Copy Data Management (CDM for short) technology and Continue Data Protection (CDP for short) technology for mainstream systems and enterprise-level business applications Provide data backup, verification, cloning and recovery functions with application/database consistency protection
