| Software | Description | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Data Compression | Encodes information | Transparent inline data compression can store more data in less space reducing the amount of storage you need to purchase and maintain. Reduces the time and bandwidth required to replicate data during volume SnapMirror transfers. |
| Deduplication | Performs block-level data deduplication on NearStore data volumes | Volume data is automatically scanned and deduplicated, resulting in immediate space savings with minimal impact on operations |
| Data ONTAP | System Storage N series storage operating system providing full-featured and single-code data management for file-serving environments that support block level service | Single architecture and user interface simplify data management and reduce costs for NAS and SAN deployment |
| Disk sanitization | Physically obliterates data by overwriting disks with specified byte patterns or random data | Helps prevent recovery of current data by any known recovery methods |
| FlexCache | Creates a flexible caching layer within your storage infrastructure that automatically adapts to changing usage patterns to eliminate bottlenecks | Intended to improve application response times for large compute farms, speed data access for remote users, or create a tiered storage infrastructure that circumvents tedious data management tasks |
| FlexClone | Instantaneously creates LUN and volume clones without requiring additional storage | Accelerated test and development and storage capacity savings |
| FlexShare | Prioritizes storage resource allocation to highest value workloads on a heavily loaded system | Ensures that best performance is provided to designated high-priority applications |
| FlexVol | Creates flexibly sized LUNs and volumes across a large pool of disks and one or more RAID groups | Fast, simple and flexible storage provisioning and high-capacity utilization |
| MultiStore | Securely partitions a storage system into multiple virtual storage appliances | Enables secure consolidation of multiple domains and file servers |
| OnCommand | Simplifies storage administration with an easy approach, presenting a consolidated view of key management elements that reduces system footprint and complexity. | Enables the consolidation and simplification of shared IT storage management by providing common management services, integration, security, and role-based access controls delivering greater flexibility and efficiency. |
| NearStore (near-line) | Increases the maximum number of concurrent data streams (per storage controller) | Enhances backup, data protection and disaster preparedness by increasing the number of concurrent data streams between two N series systems |
| RAID-DP | Offers double parity bit, RAID protection. (N series RAID 6 implementation) | Protects against data loss due to double disk failures and media bit errors occurring during drive rebuild processes |
| SecureAdmin | Authenticates both the administrative user and the N series system, creating a secure, direct communication link to the N series system | Helps protect administrative logins, passwords and session commands from “cleartext” snooping by replacing RSH and telnet with the strongly encrypted SSH protocol |
| Single Mailbox Recovery for Exchange (SMBR) | Enables the recovery of a single mailbox from a Microsoft Exchange Information Store | SMBR can extract a single mailbox or email directly in minutes compared to hours with traditional methods. Helps eliminate the need for IT staff-intensive, complex and time-consuming exchange server and mailbox recovery |
| SnapDrive | Provides host-based data management of N series storage from Microsoft Windows, UNIX and Linux servers | Simplifies host-consistent Snapshot copy creation and automates error-free restores |
| SnapLock (requires Data ONTAP 7.2.5) | Write-protects structured application data files within a volume to provide WORM disk storage | Provides storage enabling compliance with government records retention regulations |
| SnapManager | Provides host-based data management of N series storage for databases and business applications | Simplifies application-consistent Snapshot copies, automates error-free data restores and enables application-aware disaster recovery |
| SnapMirror | Enables automatic, incremental data replication between systems: synchronous or asynchronous | Provides flexible, space- and network-efficient site-to-site mirroring for disaster recovery and data distribution |
| SnapMover | Enables rapid reassignment of disks between controllers within a system without disruption | Enables fast, nondisruptive load balancing within an active-active controller system |
| SnapRestore | Rapidly restores single files, directories, or entire LUNs and volumes from any Snapshot backup | Enables near-instantaneous recovery of files, databases and complete volumes |
| Snapshot | Creates incremental, data-in-place, point-in-time copies of a LUN or volume with minimal performance impact | Enables frequent, nondisruptive, space-efficient and quickly restorable backups |
| SnapValidator | Maximizes data integrity for Oracle Database | Enhances Oracle Database resiliency in compliance with Oracle HARD initiative |
| SnapVault | Exports Snapshot copies to another N series system, providing an incremental block-level backup solution | Enables cost-effective, long-term retention of rapidly restorable disk-based backups |
| Storage encryption† | Prevents unauthorized access to data storage | Provides support for Full Disk Encryption (FDE) drives in N series disk shelf storage and integration with License Key Managers including IBM Tivoli® License Key Manager (TLKM).† |
| SyncMirror | Maintains two online copies of data with RAID-DP protection on each side of the mirror | Protects against all types of hardware outages, including triple disk failure |
| Software packs | Simplifies ordering of combinations of software features: Foundation Pack (SnapRestore, SnapVault Primary), Protection Pack (SnapMirror, SnapVault Secondary) and Advanced Pack (FlexClone, MultiStore, and SnapLock)For N3400 series: Application pack (SnapManager, SnapDrive, DSM, SMBR) and server pack (SnapManager Virtual Infrastructure, SnapDrive, DSM) | Provides flexibility to take advantage of breakthrough capabilities, while maximizing value with a considerable discount |
| Software bundle | Windows bundle (CIFS, SnapRestore, SnapVault Primary and Secondary, SnapMirror, SnapDrive for UNIX and Windows, ONTAP DSM for Windows MPIO, SnapManager (for all products), also for MS Hyper-V, SMBR Windows)Server Virtualization Bundle (NFS, SnapRestore, SnapVault Primary, and Secondary, SnapMirror, SnapManager for Virtual Infrastructures, and for MS Hyper-V, SnapDrive for UNIX and Windows,, and ONTAP DSM for Windows MPIO)Complete Bundle (NFS, CIFS, SnapRestore, SnapVault Primary and Secondary, SnapMirror, FlexClone, MultiStore, SnapLock, SnapManager (for all products) also for MS Hyper-V, SnapDrive for UNIX and Windows (Filer), SMBR Windows, ONTAP DSM for Windows MPIO) | Broader and more complete solutions providing more functionality at a lower price |
