Clustered Data ONTAP™

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.
DeduplicationRemoves 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.

What the integration consists of:
− Backup & Recovery (VMware, MySQL)
− Storage Provisioning (v1 only NFS)
− Resize, destroy, dedupe
− Storage analytics
− API Integrated
Integration Details
11
Strategic alignment – First enterprise-class storage vendor to provide deep integrations
How is the integration being delivered:
− UI / API Plug-in
− Clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 & 8.2.1
− RPM Installer
NetApp Integration into ACS / CCP continued
12
Key highlights: − Easily deployed & managed
− Implements ACS Storage API
− ACS / CCP 4.3
Future Integrations (?)− VM cloning offload
− SAN
− Backup / Recovery for XenServer
