Never run out of continuous high-performance storage capacity with NetApp Tiering

Harnessing the power of NetApp ONTAP® FabricPool technology, Tiering continuously monitors cold data and relocates it to low-cost storage.

Simple and transparent

Finally, an intuitive and automated tiering approach that puts cold data in its place.

  • Guided steps and rule-based parameters establish your tiering criteria quickly.
  • Tiering operates transparently in the background, with no impacts to the application layer.
  • A fully customizable API set enables more advanced use.
