Apache CloudStack
Clustered Data ONTAP
®
The best storage for the cloud
Non-Disruptive Operations
 Upgrade Data ONTAP software
 Scale and load balance

Clustered Data ONTAP™

5. 5
Snapshot™
Point-in-time copies that write only
changed blocks. Minimal
performance penalty.
Virtual Copies (FlexClone
®
)
Near-zero-space, instant
“virtual” copies. Only
subsequent changes in cloned
data set get stored.
Thin Provisioning (FlexVol
®
)
Create flexible volumes that appear
to be a certain size but are really a
much smaller pool.
RAID 6 Protection (RAID-DP
®
)
Helps protect against double disk
failure with little performance penalty.
Deduplication
Removes data redundancies
in primary and secondary
storage.
Thin Replication
(SnapVault
®
/SnapMirror
®
)
Make data copies for disaster
recovery and backup using a minimal
amount of space.

 What the integration consists of:
− Backup & Recovery (VMware, MySQL)
− Storage Provisioning (v1 only NFS)
− Resize, destroy, dedupe
− Storage analytics
− API Integrated
Integration Details

11. 11
 Strategic alignment – First enterprise-class
storage vendor to provide deep integrations
 How is the integration being delivered:
− UI / API Plug-in
− Clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 & 8.2.1
