Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP is a fully managed service that provides native NetApp ONTAP storage and data management capabilities in the AWS cloud. It enables customers to use SnapMirror to replicate data from their on-premises ONTAP environments to Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, and vice versa, for disaster recovery purposes. It also supports other ONTAP features, such as deduplication, compression, thin provisioning, snapshots, cloning, encryption, and tiering. It is suitable for customers who want to leverage the cloud for disaster recovery, while having the cloud provider manage the storage infrastructure and operations. References = Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP - NetApp, Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP: A Fully Managed Cloud Service for Enterprise Applications - NetApp, NetApp ONTAP: Discover and Manage On-Premises Ontap Clusters

A file is a data type that represents a collection of data stored on a disk or other storage device. A file can have a name, an extension, a size, and other attributes. A file can contain any kind of data, such as text, images, audio, video, etc. A file can be opened, read, written, closed, deleted, or moved by a program. An object is a data type that represents an instance of a class, which is a blueprint for creating objects. An object can have properties, which are variables that store data, and methods, which are functions that perform actions on the object. An object can interact with other objects by sending and receiving messages. An object can inherit properties and methods from its parent class, or override them with its own definitions. References = File data type, Object data type, NetApp Data ONTAP 8.3 File Access and Protocols Management Guide, NetApp Data ONTAP 8.3 Object-Store Configuration Guide

 NetApp BlueXP backup and recovery supports various object storage services as backup destinations, including IBM Cloud Object Storage and Microsoft Azure Blob. These services provide scalable, durable, and cost-effective storage for backup data. BlueXP backup and recovery can automatically create and manage the required storage accounts and containers for these services, or use existing ones if specified by the user. BlueXP backup and recovery also supports Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, NetApp StorageGRID, and NetApp ONTAP S3 as backup destinations. References = BlueXP backup and recovery documentation, Back up on-premises ONTAP to IBM Cloud Object Storage, Back up on-premises ONTAP to Azure Blob

= SVM DR is a solution that provides disaster recovery capability at the granularity of SVM, by enabling the recovery of data present in the constituent volumes of the SVM and the recovery of SVM configuration. SVM DR replicates access configurations and local users and groups, as well as data protection policies, export policies, and network configurations. SVM DR can be used to protect NAS data from a natural disaster by replicating it to a different physical location. References = How to configure a SVM Disaster Recovery (SVMDR), SVM disaster recovery workflow, Simplified SVM Level Data Protection Using OnCommand System Manager 9.5, SVM Relationships with System Manager - ONTAP 9.7 and earlier, Create and Initialize SVM DR Relationship

Azure NetApp Files is a fully managed cloud storage service that provides SMB and NFS file services for your cloud applications on Microsoft Azure. It is designed for customers who want to use cloud storage as part of their data strategy and have a mixture of NFS and SMB workloads. Azure NetApp Files simplifies and automates the deployment, management, and scaling of your file systems, while delivering high performance, availability, security, and data protection. You can also leverage NetApp’s data management capabilities, such as snapshots, clones, replication, and backup, to enhance your data lifecycle management. References = What is Azure NetApp Files?, Azure NetApp Files Documentation, Azure NetApp Files: Enterprise-Grade File Storage for Azure, Azure NetApp Files: The Ultimate Cloud File Service

= NetApp Aggregate Encryption (NAE) and NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE) are software-based encryption solutions that protect data at rest on a per-aggregate or per-volume basis, respectively. They use AES 256-bit encryption and support both internal and external key management. They do not require self-encrypting drives (SEDs) or NetApp Storage Encryption (NSE), which are hardware-based encryption solutions that use FIPS 140-2 level 2 validated drives. Onboard Key Manager (OKM) is a built-in tool that serves authentication keys to nodes from the same storage system as the data, but it is not an encryption mechanism by itself. References = NetApp Volume Encryption, Configure NetApp Volume Encryption overview, Storage Encryption & Disk Encryption – Self Encrypting Software | NetApp, How to configure OKM for NVE & Where to Get Encryption Key - NetApp …

 Keystone is NetApp’s pay-as-you-grow, storage-as-a-service (STaaS) offering that delivers a seamless hybrid multicloud experience for customers who prefer opex consumption models to upfront capex or leasing. Keystone provides storage capacity at predefined service levels for block, file, and object data types that can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud. Keystone supports both NFS and FCP protocols for file and block data access. Keystone allows customers to align economics and operations to their business priorities and reallocate storagespending across any public clouds. References = NetApp Keystone storage as a service for the hybrid cloud, Storage as a Service – STaaS | NetApp, Learn about NetApp Keystone

= Adding a new FAS system to the existing AFF cluster is a way to expand the storage capacity with cost-effective nearline storage for archiving purposes. A FAS system can use HDDs as the performance tier and tier cold data to cloud object storage using FabricPool, which is a NetApp data tiering technology that reduces the amount of physical capacity taken up by data. This way, the administrator can leverage the storage efficiencies of ONTAP and the low-cost storage of the cloud to archive data that is not frequently accessed. The AFF and FAS systems can be managed by the same ONTAP cluster and provide seamless data access and protection. References = Storage Efficiencies - NetApp, Data Archiving: Cost-Effective Cloud Storage - NetApp, AFF Systems and Cloud Volumes ONTAP | NetApp.
