NetApp Data ONTAP 8: Efficiency Features

Standardising on a unified architecture reduces storage risks and costs. Efficiency features embedded in NetApp® Data ONTAP® 8 simplify complex tasks - freeing admins to focus on business growth and challenges.

When “do more with less” is your mantra, every efficiency gain counts. Data ONTAP 8 intelligent storage delivers a massively scalable, always-on, shared infrastructure that enables you to store more data in less space, allowing you to retain data on disk for longer periods of time, and reduces both capital and operational costs associated with power and cooling.

Efficient Space Utilisation

  • Replicate data volumes and data sets instantly as space saving, virtual clones.
  • Use transparent in-line and post-process data compression for data reduction.
  • Remove redundant data objects with general-purpose deduplication.

Cost-Efficient Storage

  • Use less expensive SATA to lower your storage acquisition costs without fear of data loss.
  • Reduce your acquisition costs further through “just-in-time” storage with built-in thin provisioning.
  • Replicate data volumes and data sets as space-saving, virtual clones, using FlexClone®.
