Why NetApp Cloud Tiering service
NetApp Cloud Tiering service extends your on-premises ONTAP storage to the cloud by combining your ONTAP SSD storage with a low-cost object storage of your choice. Cloud Tiering efficiently manages your storage pool by seamlessly placing your data at the right tier at the right time, based on its usage, without compromising on manageability and performance.
Tiered data is always visible and fully accessible for use without any changes to the application layer. Whenever tiered data is requested, it is brought back to the performance tier for optimal use.
