NetApp Unveils Clustered Data ONTAP Innovations Paving the Way for Software Defined Storage World's #1 Branded Storage OS* Reduces Downtime and Accelerates Responsiveness to Business Changes
SUNNYVALE, Calif. June 11, 2013 NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) today announced a new version of its flagship storage operating system clustered Data ONTAP . The new software gives organizations and cloud service providers the capability to rapidly and cost effectively deliver new services and capacity with maximum application uptime. Clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 cuts through the performance, availability, and efficiency limits of traditional hardware silos, empowering IT to nondisruptively align the storage infrastructure with changing business and application demands.
Industry leading capabilities in clustered Data ONTAP:
Nondisruptive operations with greater than five-nines reliability (99.999%), providing continuous data access during scheduled downtime and dynamic load balancing without disruptive data migrations
Seamless scalability with up to 69PB of storage and 24 controller nodes, 49,000 LUNs, 12,000 NAS volumes supporting over 100,000 clients and single container up to 20 PB
Proven storage and operational efficiency within a unified and multi-tenant architecture that meets the needs of enterprises, small, and midsized businesses
Additional key features and enhancements:
Granular quality of service (QoS) to meet application performance service levels in multi-tenant and multi-workload environments for SAN and NAS
NetApp SnapVault disk-to-disk (D2D) backup: compression, and deduplication savings are preserved over the network and restores of PB-scale datasets, applications, and virtual machines (VMs) are instantly available
Cost-effective and flexible adoption models including single-node and switch-less configurations that enable nondisruptive and on-demand infrastructure scaling
Storage VMs that support software-defined initiatives and enable agility by delivering storage services from pooled heterogeneous hardware resources
Enhanced Microsoft virtual environments with built-in support for SMB3.0 and ODX delivering superior management, scalability, and agility with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V
Enhanced VMware shared infrastructure and hybrid cloud environments with expanded support of VMware vSphere Storage APIs, VMware Horizon Suite, and VMware vCloud Suite
Continuous data access during controller upgrades
Latest storage protocols including SMB 3.0, pNFS v4.1, iSCSI, FCoE, and Fibre Channel
New assessment, migration, and optimization services, plus enhanced implementation services
Automation and monitoring enhancements for the NetApp OnCommand Management Suite
NetApp's Vision for Software-Defined Storage
Software-defined storage (SDS) is one component of the emerging software-defined data center (SDDC) model, which focuses on agility in delivering IT services to application owners while improving operational and IT resource efficiency. Akin to virtual machines and server virtualization, clustered Data ONTAP abstracts physical storage into a set of Storage Virtual Machines (SVM; formerly known as vServer). This allows NetApp to deliver native multi-tenant, policy-based storage services via programmable APIs and application integrations. Clustered Data ONTAP is the first storage and data management solution that makes the promise of SDS attainable today PDF.
CIOs are moving from builders of applications and operators of data centers to brokers of information services to the business, said Jay Kidd, senior vice president and chief technology officer, NetApp. This new role requires technologies that can speed IT response time and drive operational and resource efficiency. Clustered Data ONTAP fills this need today, providing the key building block that delivers the benefits of software-defined storage models and will replace existing slow and inefficient siloed approaches. Our new software gives IT unsurpassed agility, including the flexibility to deploy across multiple platforms.
Quality of service and data protection enhancements help IT to automate application provisioning based on service level and to realize operational benefits from pre-set policy-based security and delegation. These features and capabilities enable IT teams to scale infrastructure to fit business needs, decrease the cost to run applications, and achieve higher levels of operational efficiency.
Customer Momentum with Clustered Data ONTAP
Clustered Data ONTAP offers compelling value to both the enterprise private cloud and public cloud service providers. The software's unified architecture services a range of workloads from the most demanding to the most unique across virtualized environments, scale-out NAS, and enterprise applications. During the past year companies across all industries have adopted clustered Data ONTAP with a 4x increase in clustered nodes resulting in 100% quarter over quarter growth of deployments. Cloud providers, whose business reputation depends on continuously running operations, are bringing centralized management to the data center with FlexPod from NetApp and Cisco with clustered Data ONTAP.
Areas of high adoption of clustered Data ONTAP include:
Virtualized environments. Organizations use private clouds to consolidate multiple applications into a shared environment, so IT is delivered like a service provider. Clustered Data ONTAPs unified architecture services a broad range of workloads on a standard platform.
Scale-out NAS. Traditionally, NAS has been used to meet the requirements for storing files on a network for access by a few or for backup purposes. With clustered Data ONTAP, customers can grow from a few terabytes to tens of petabytes without reconfiguring running applications.
