GOOD REASONS
TO UPGRADE TO
ONTAP 9.3
Learn more about ONTAP 9 and ONTAP 9.3, and get
complete details at the ONTAP 9 Documentation Center.
Upgrading to NetApp® ONTAP® 9.3 will save you time and money while increas-
ing performance and security. It’s an easy, nondisruptive upgrade to your ONTAP
environment, and it's free for NetApp customers who have qualifying support
agreements. If you haven’t updated ONTAP in the past year, now is a great time
to take advantage of all that’s new.
Why upgrade? Read on.
Improve storage efficiency
by up to 30% on AFF with
expanded and automated
inline deduplication.
Make sure that your business-
critical applications get the
performance your policies require
through adaptive quality of
service (AQoS) that automatically
adapts storage resources to
workload changes on AFF systems.
FabricPool functionality can offer
fast storage TCO savings of up
to 40% for AFF and all-SSD FAS
aggregates by automatically tiering
cold snapshot and backup data to
private or public clouds,
including AWS S3.
Provision applications, not
storage. When you request
application storage, integrated
best practices deploy that
storage at the optimal location in
the cluster and apply QoS policies.
Apply compliance policies for
legal holds and event-based
retention with NetApp SnapLock®
write-once, read-many (WORM)
technology. Volume append mode
protects audio, video, and other
streaming data sources.
Improve performance by
up to 40% on AFF with ONTAP
optimizations and path paralleliza-
tion that deliver higher IOPS and
lower latency.
NetApp FlexGroup volumes provide
a large, scalable NAS container
that spans multiple nodes with a
single namespace. ONTAP 9.3 adds
home directory support with
qtrees, antivirus, QoS maximums,
and much more.
Strengthen administrator
account access with multifactor
authentication (MFA), and increase
security with KMIP-standard
external key management for
software-based encryption.
ONTAP Select now supports
vSphere and KVM hypervisors, and
it can be deployed as a vNAS gateway
on existing storage (including HCI
and vSAN) and in simple 2-node
configurations on commodity
servers for remote offices.
