FTP Protocol

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a conversational protocol used to transfer files from an N series

running Data ONTAP to a client/user over

TCP/IP

It can transfer simple text files and convert between different native formats, such as from

a Windows text format to a UNIX text format, or

it can transfer raw binary data, such as

programs and graphical images.

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the foundation protocol of the World Wide Web. It

sets the rules for exchanges between browser

and server. It provides for the transfer of

hypertext and hypermedia, for recognition of

file types, and other functions.

N series supports HTTP and transfer files from an N series running Data ONTAP to a

FilerView

A web-based administration tool that allows IT administrators to fully manage N series systems from remote locations.

Simple and intuitive web-based single-appliance administration

SecureAdmin is standard feature of Data ONTAP that enables authenticated, command-based administrative

sessions between an administrative user and Data ONTAP

over an intranet or the Internet.

SecureAdmin can be used to authenticate both the administrative user and the N series system, creating a

secure, direct communication link to the N series system.

It helps protects administrative logins, passwords, and session commands from "cleartext" snooping by replacing

rsh and telnet with the strongly encrypted SSH protocol

Disk Sanitization

Disk sanitization is the process of physically obliterating data by overwriting disks with specified byte patterns or random

data in a manner that helps prevents recovery of current data

by any known recovery methods.

This feature enables you to carry out disk sanitization by using three successive byte overwrite patterns per cycle and

a default six cycles per operation

FlexShare gives administrators the ability to increase processing utilization without sacrificing the performance of critical business needs.

Allows administrators to consolidate different applications and data sets on a single storage system.

FlexShare gives administrators the control to prioritize applications based on how critical they are to the business and provides a priority

mechanism to give preferential treatment to higher priority tasks.

Benefits include: For more effective storage consolidation Critical workloads get fastest response when controller is fully

loaded

Storage administrator can make on-the-fly adjustments Standard feature in Data ONTAP 7.2

FlexVol

Allows administrator to create multiple flexible volumes across a large pool of disks. Dynamic, non-disruptive storage (thin) provisioning; space- and time-efficiency. Allows users to get more space dynamically and non-disruptively. Enables more productive use of available storage and helps improve performance.

Designed to provide instant replication of data volumes/sets without requiring additional storage space at the time of

creation.

Allows IT administrator to make a backup copy of a database and then modify and run testing against test

(backup) database without affecting or taking the on-line

database off-line.

RAID-DP

Protects better than single-parity RAID or RAID0+1 Designed to survive all 2-disk failure scenarios Essential for SATA drives but also applicable to FC drives Breakthrough innovation: USENIX Best Paper in 2004 No performance penalty for industry-leading protection

Automatic failover with notification provides continuous data availability for an unavailable storage controller and notifies

administrator of failover.

Manual failover and giveback enables planned maintenance on a storage controller without impacting data availability

Transparent failover: end users are not impacted by a failover; clients continue to access data the same way after a failover.

Active/active configuration; both clustered controllers are doing useful work; no resources sit idle waiting for a failover to occur

Clustered Failover (CFO)

P DP

Traditional single-parity RAID technology offers protection from a single failed disk drive.

The expectation is that no other disk fails nor uncorrectable bit errors not occur during a read operation while reconstruction of the failed disk is still

in progress.

If either event occurs during reconstruction, then some or all data contained in the RAID array or volume could be lost. With modern larger

disk media, the likelihood of an uncorrectable bit error is fairly high, since

disk capacities have increased but bit error rates have stayed the same.

The ability of traditional single-parity RAID to protect data is being stretched beyond its limits.

MetroCluster

SnapValidator detects and prevents potential corruptions of Oracle data before they happen.

Oracle system assigns a unique value to each write request based on the sum of the data and sends the data set down the I/O path to the N

series system. Upon receipt, SnapValidator calculates the sum of the

data and compares it to the Oracle value.

If these values match, the system writes the information to disk and reports a successful write.

If the identifiers do not match, the system prevents the data corruption and produces an alert.

SnapValidator meets Oracle HARD (Hardware Assisted Resilient Data) initiative and provides the highest possible level of protection for

Oracle data.

SnapValidator

Extends Clustered Failover capabilities from primary to a remote site Replicates data from the primary site to the remote site to ensure that data

there is completely up-to-date and available

If Site A goes down, MetroCluster allows you to rapidly resume operations at a remote site minutes after a disaster.

Stretch MetroCluster provides a disaster recovery option at distances up to 500 meters between each N series system.

Fabric MetroCluster provides a disaster recovery option at distances up to 100km using a Fibre Channel switched network.

NearStore

Data ONTAP maintains a fixed upper limit for concurrent SnapMirror and SnapVault transfers based on the type of disks the system has attached.

Concurrent operations allow multiple data streams between two N series devices for the purpose of backup, data protection, disaster preparedness

The NearStore (near-line) feature increases the maximum number of concurrent data streams (per storage controller) to the following limits:

N5200 w/FC & SATA drives = 32 concurrent data streams N5300, 5500 & N7600 w/FC & SATA drives = 64 concurrent data streams N5600 & N7800 w/FC & SATA drives = 128 concurrent data streams

Notes: Concurrent data streams = a combination of SnapMirror and SnapVault and

Disk-based WORM technology compliant with strict regulations such as SEC 17a-4. Provides non-erasable and

non-rewritable data protection that helps enable compliance

with government and industry records retention regulations.

The entire system or a portion of it can be partitioned to store WORM-protected data. SnapLock volumes are accessed via

CIFS or NFS protocols. SnapLock works with SnapMirror to

satisfy regulations requiring two WORM copies.

Enables IT administrator to lock a backup in a non-erasable and non-rewriteable format for compliant

retention

Snapshot-based backups save only changed blocks; yet full backup image is immediately

readable in native application format

SnapManager for SQL server and SnapManager for Exchange

Host software for managing Exchange and SQL Server backup and restore. SnapManager software simplifies data protection by automating processes to provide hands-off, worry-

free data management.

It enables you to schedule and automate backups, use policy-based backup retention management, and simplify the migration of existing databases to IBM N series systems.

SnapManager also delivers built-in high availability, with features that allow you to expand databases online.

It also offers tight integration with Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) and Multipath I/O (MPIO) and with the N series Clustered Failover option and SnapMirror for simplified

disaster recovery implementation.

Enables the recovery of a single mailbox from a Microsoft Exchange Information Store.

Unlike Lotus Domino where every mailbox is stored as a separate database (and therefore is implicitly recoverable as a unit by itself),

Exchange clumps several mailboxes together into .edb files and .stm

files.

This makes recovery of a single users mailbox extremely cumbersome and in most cases impossible unless there is some brick-level backup

software in place.

With SMBR, no brick-level (transaction level) backup is required. SMBR can extract a single mailbox or email directly and rapidly from an

Exchange Information Store.

SnapManager for Oracle

SnapManager automates and simplifies the complex manual and time-consuming processes associated with the backup, restore, recovery and cloning of Oracle databases.

It provides the ability to create, use, and clone a database for use by non-production team capability.

SnapManager automatically identifies the backup data set and puts the database in hot backup mode while a Snapshot copy is created to ensure consistency.

Any backup can be immediately verified, or verification can be deferred. Backups can be performed at regular intervals throughout the day and ensures that restores

occur quickly with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

It also integrates with native Oracle technology such as RAC, RMAN, and ASM and across iSCSI and NFS protocols to allow IT organizations to:

Scale their storage infrastructure Meet increasingly stringent SLA commitments Improve the productivity of databases storage administrator across the enterprise

Benefits:

SnapManager backs up in seconds

Snapshot copies verified for integrity and stored

Near instantaneous restores from Snapshot

Dramatically shortened recovery with automated log replays

Automated recovery tasks

Near-instant clones from Snapshot

Automated cloning operation

User-defined table maps CIFS-illegal characters to Windows-recognizable format

During CIFS-list Data ONTAP converts filenames using mapping

Example: file a:b converted to ab for CIFS clients

Performs reverse mapping before actual operation

CIFS request for file ab will always open NFS file a:b

WAFL file system simple moves the pointers of the Active File to blocks A, B new C.

Original data is never re-written

Some copy-on-write alternatives require three operations (read old data, save old data,

overwrite with new) vs N series with a single

write.

FLEXCLONE OVERVIEW

Designed to create multiple, instant

data set clones without requiring

additional storage space at the time

of creation.

Provides dramatic improvement for

application test and development

environments

Allows IT administrator to make a

backup copy of a database and then

modify and run testing against test

(backup) database without affecting

or taking the on-line database off-line.

Renders competitive methods archaic Flexible Volume

(production data)

Snapshot

FlexClone

New production

writes

User writes

new data to

clone copy

User reads unchanged

Snapshot in database


Start with a volume Volume 1

Volume 2

(Clone)

Create a clone (a new volume based on the Snapshot copy)

HOW IT WORKS

Snapshot

copy of

Volume 1

Create a Snapshot copy

Cloned volume is updated / modified for QA or test scenarios

Original volume continues to be updated during production mode

Data Written

to Disk:

Snapshot Copy Result: Independent volume copies,

efficiently stored

Only storage consumed are the changed blocks Volume 1

Cloned Volume

Changed Blocks

FLEXCLONE IMPROVES FLEXIBILITY AND EFFICIENCY

Writeable copies consume space and time

Impacts deployment time

FlexClone copies are near-instantaneous

Storage efficient

Significant Cost Savings

FLEXVOL DRAMATIC DATA MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENTS

Designed to allow administrators to create multiple flexible volumes across a large pool of disks

Dynamic, non-disruptive storage (thin) provisioning; space- and time-efficiency

Allows users to get more space dynamically and non-disruptively

Can enable more productive use of available storage and helps improve performance by distributing applications across more spindles

Grow and Shrink volumes on the fly.

FlexVol

Without FlexVol,

application is limited to

pre-assigned space

Application is free to

grab more space if

needed
