NetApp Data ONTAP Software

Data ONTAP® Software
Highly optimized, scalable, and flexible operating system for unified enterprise data management.

In today's rapidly changing business climate, your enterprise demands cost-effective, flexible data management solutions that can handle the unpredictable and explosive growth of storage in your heterogeneous environment. To enable global data management, ensure business continuance, satisfy regulatory and compliance standards, and improve resource utilization, you require a flexible and scalable storage network solution. The solution must also minimize complexity and reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO).

Network Appliance™ storage solutions are based on Data ONTAP, a highly optimized, scalable, and flexible operating system that can handle mixed SAN and NAS environments. Data ONTAP delivers flexible management and high availability, ensures business continuance, and provides data permanence, thereby reducing storage management complexity in your enterprise and lowering your TCO. Data ONTAP software integrates seamlessly into UNIX®, Windows®, and Web environments and provides the foundation to build your storage infrastructure and an enterprise-wide data fabric for mission-critical business applications. The operating system includes integrated secure access capabilities (SSL, SSH) and FilerView, a Web-based element manager. For more information, see the Data ONTAP datasheet (PDF).
