SOFTWARE/
FEATURE
FUNCTION BENEFIT
NetApp Deduplication General-purpose deduplication for removal of
redundant data objects
Reduces the amount of storage you need to
purchase and maintain
FlexCache?Caches NFS volumes for accelerated file access
in remote offices and for server compute farms Improves your system’s performance, response times, and data availability for particular workloads
FlexClone Instantaneously creates file, LUN, and volume
clones without requiring additional storage Enables you to save time in testing and develop- ment and increases your storage capacity
FlexShare Prioritizes storage resource allocation to highest
value workloads on a heavily loaded system Provides you with better performance for designated high-priority applications
FlexVol Creates flexibly sized LUNs and volumes across a
large pool of disks and one or more RAID groups Enables your storage systems to be used at maximum efficiency and reduces your hardware investment
MetroCluster An integrated high-availability/disaster recovery
solution for campus and metro-area deployments Enables you to have immediate data availability if a site fails
MultiStore?Securely partitions a storage system into multiple
virtual storage appliances Allows you to consolidate multiple domains and file servers
Operations Manager Manages multiple NetApp systems from a single
administrative console
Simplifies your NetApp deployment and allows you to
consolidate management of multiple NetApp systems
Protection Manager Backup and replication management software
for NetApp disk-to-disk environments
Lets you automate data protection, enabling you
to have mistake-free backup
System Manager Provides setup, provisioning, and configuration
management of a Data ONTAP storage system Simplifies out-of-box setup and device management using an intuitive Windows-based interface
SnapDrive?Provides host-based data management of NetApp
storage from Windows, UNIX, and Linux? servers Allows you to initiate error-free system restores should servers fail
SnapLock Write-protects structured application data files
within a volume to provide WORM disk storage Provides you with worry-free compliance with records retention regulations
SnapManager?Provides host-based data management of NetApp
storage for databases and business applications Lets you automate error-free data restores and provides you with application-aware disaster recovery
SnapMirror?Enables automatic, incremental data replication
between systems: synchronous or asynchronous Provides you with flexibility and efficiency when mirroring for data distribution and disaster recovery
SnapMover?Enables rapid reassignment of disks between
controllers within a system, without disruption Lets you load balance an active-active controller system with no disruption to data flow
SnapRestore?Rapidly restores single files, directories, or
entire LUNs and volumes from any Snapshot
copy backup Instantaneously recovers your files, databases, and complete volumes from your backup
Snapshot Makes incremental, data-in-place, point-in-
time copies of a LUN or volume with minimal
performance impact Enables you to create frequent, space-efficient backups with no disruption to data traffic
SnapValidator?Maximizes data integrity for Oracle? Databases Allows you to enhance the resiliency of Oracle Data-
bases so they comply with Oracle HARD initiative
SnapVault Exports Snapshot copies to another NetApp
system, providing an incremental block-level
backup solution Provides you with cost-effective, long-term backups of disk-based data
SyncMirror Maintains two online copies of data with
RAID-DP protection on each side of the mirror Protects your system from all types of hardware outages, including triple disk failure
Adapt to change quickly and easily Flexible volumes don’t require prepartitioning. Now you can more easily tailor the data to
fit your needs. And, even better, you can
do it more quickly with smaller overhead.
A quicker response means a more nimble business. With Data ONTAP 8.0 7-Mode, we extend the volume sizes by supporting aggregates based on 64 bits, resulting in a theoretical size of up to 1000PB.
Improve quality of service
With FlexShare? you can consolidate disparate applications, prioritize specific data sets, and dynamically adjust priorities as the needs arise. Y ou can use FlexShare to host multiple workloads on a single NetApp system and then assign individual priorities to each.
Reduce costs
Now you can store more data in less
disk space because we integrated data deduplication and thin provisioning. FlexVol?technology enables you to use your storage systems at maximum efficiency, thus lowering your hardware investment to a minimum. Not only do you reduce the amount of physical storage, but you can also see significant savings in power, cooling, and data center real estate costs.Buy less storage
You can consolidate hundreds of terabytes
on a single storage system because our
operating system is so adept at taking
advantage of multiple processors. It’s the
perfect fit for any business or technical
application.
Share heterogeneous data throughout
your company
With Data ONTAP 8.0 7-Mode, you have
seamless access to data using block- and
file-level protocols on a single storage system.
We provide block-level data access over a
Fibre Channel SAN fabric using FCP and
over an IP-based network using iSCSI.
Our SecureShare? cross-protocol locking
technology helps keeps you from having to
compromise security, compatibility, or perfor-
mance when sharing heterogeneous data.
Enhance data availability
We also help you reduce costly downtime and
maximize access to your mission-critical data.

Business continuance and compliance
We understand that lengthy disruptions to
information access and noncompliance with
records retention regulations are simply not
options in your business. Data ONTAP 8.0
7-Mode includes innovative, disaster-tolerant
data protection and recovery features. You
get business continuance and disk-based
data permanence features for regulated and
reference data.
Extend data protection
With NetApp Snapshot technology you can
provide near-instantaneous file-level or full
data set recovery. You get up to 255 data-
in-place, point-in-time images per volume.
Unlike snapshot implementations from other
vendors, NetApp Snapshot copies are nearly
instantaneous, and they require minimal disk
space overhead. They are uniquely suited for
protecting your production data.
