- 3. 3 Clustered Data ONTAP, goodness for the cloud
- 4. 4 Apache CloudStack Clustered Data ONTAP ® The best storage for the cloud Non-Disruptive Operations Upgrade Data ONTAP software Scale and load balance High Performance and Scale Storage Efficiency Multi-Tenancy DBVDIMessagingERP Clustered Data ONTAP™
- 5. 5 Snapshot™ Point-in-time copies that write only changed blocks. Minimal performance penalty. Virtual Copies (FlexClone ® ) Near-zero-space, instant “virtual” copies. Only subsequent changes in cloned data set get stored. Thin Provisioning (FlexVol ® ) Create flexible volumes that appear to be a certain size but are really a much smaller pool. RAID 6 Protection (RAID-DP ® ) Helps protect against double disk failure with little performance penalty. Deduplication Removes data redundancies in primary and secondary storage. Thin Replication (SnapVault ® /SnapMirror ® ) Make data copies for disaster recovery and backup using a minimal amount of space. Clustered Data ONTAP Storage Efficiency
