THE CHALLENGE

Managing growth and change

In todays rapidly changing business climate,

your enterprise demands cost-eective,

fexible data management solutions that

can handle the unpredictable and explosivegrowth o storage in your heterogeneous

environment. As your business expands,

you need your data to work or you. Youre

looking or eciency. You want data manage-

ment thats able to grow with you as your

storage needs explode. Its got to be fexible

enough to adapt to and protect your diverse

business environment. You want a system

that allows you to eectively manage your

resourcessomething simple, and something

you can aord.

THE SOLUTION

Implement our scalable, fexible Data

ONTAP 8.0 7-Mode operating systemNetApp storage solutions help you manage

data in your enterprise environment with a

scalable and fexible operating system we

call Data ONTAP 8 7-Mode.

Data ONTAP 8.0 7-Mode provides:

More ecient storage

Adapt to change quickly and easily

Flexible volumes dont require prepartitioning.

Now you can more easily tailor the data to

t 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 o up to 1000PB.

Improve quality o service

With FlexShare you can consolidate

disparate applications, prioritize specic

data sets, and dynamically adjust priorities

as the needs arise. You 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 lessdisk space because we integrated data

deduplication and thin provisioning. FlexVol

technology enables you to use your storage

systems at maximum eciency, thus lowering

your hardware investment to a minimum. Not

only do you reduce the amount o physical

storage, but you can also see signicant

savings in power, cooling, and data center

real estate costs.

Buy less storage

You can consolidate hundreds o terabytes

on a single storage system because our

operating system is so adept at taking

advantage o multiple processors. Its the

perect t or 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

le-level protocols on a single storage system.

We provide block-level data access over a

Fibre Channel SAN abric using FCP and

over an IP-based network using iSCSI.

Our SecureShare cross-protocol locking

technology helps keeps you rom having to

compromise security, compatibility, or peror-

mance when sharing heterogeneous data.

Enhance data availabilityWe also help you reduce costly downtime and

maximize access to your mission-critical data.

Data ONTAP 8.0 7-Mode standard eatures

and optional capabilities that contribute to

this high level o data availability include:

WAFL (Write Anywhere File Layout)

le system

Snapshot

FlexClone

Multipath high availability

Active-active controller ailover

RAID-DP

SyncMirror

Patent-pending block-level checksum

capability

Business continuance and compliance

We understand that lengthy disruptions to

inormation 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 eatures. You

get business continuance and disk-based

data permanence eatures or regulated and

reerence data.

Extend data protection

With NetApp Snapshot technology you can

provide near-instantaneous le-level or ull

data set recovery. You get up to 255 data-in-place, point-in-time images per volume.

Unlike snapshot implementations rom other

vendors, NetApp Snapshot copies are nearly

instantaneous, and they require minimal disk

space overhead. They are uniquely suited or

protecting your production data.
