HTTPS and NFS are two protocols that are supported in StorageGRID. HTTPS is the protocol used for secure communication between clients and StorageGRID nodes1. NFS is the protocol supported by the StorageGRID NAS protocol bridge, which enables object access to files stored on NAS devices using the Amazon S3 API23. References = 1: StorageGRID 11.6 Documentation - NetApp, 2: Datasheet NetApp StorageGRID, 3: NetApp Datasheet - NetApp StorageGRID Webscale Object Storage Software.

= Adding a new FAS system to the existing AFF cluster is a way to expand the storage capacity with cost-effective nearline storage for archiving purposes. A FAS system can use HDDs as the performance tier and tier cold data to cloud object storage using FabricPool, which is a NetApp data tiering technology that reduces the amount of physical capacity taken up by data. This way, the administrator can leverage the storage efficiencies of ONTAP and the low-cost storage of the cloud to archive data that is not frequently accessed. The AFF and FAS systems can be managed by the same ONTAP cluster and provide seamless data access and protection. References = Storage Efficiencies - NetApp, Data Archiving: Cost-Effective Cloud Storage - NetApp, AFF Systems and Cloud Volumes ONTAP | NetApp.

 NetApp BlueXP backup and recovery supports various object storage services as backup destinations, including IBM Cloud Object Storage and Microsoft Azure Blob. These services provide scalable, durable, and cost-effective storage for backup data. BlueXP backup and recovery can automatically create and manage the required storage accounts and containers for these services, or use existing ones if specified by the user. BlueXP backup and recovery also supports Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, NetApp StorageGRID, and NetApp ONTAP S3 as backup destinations. References = BlueXP backup and recovery documentation, Back up on-premises ONTAP to IBM Cloud Object Storage, Back up on-premises ONTAP to Azure Blob

 = BlueXP edge caching and BlueXP copy and sync are two NetApp solutions that can meet the requirements of saving frequently used data locally and centrally locking files for real-time collaboration. BlueXP edge caching creates a software fabric that caches “active datasets” in distributed offices to deliver guaranteed transparent data access and optimal performance on a global scale1. BlueXP copy and sync enables a “single set of data” for users globally to leverage virtual teams and increase their productivity for team and collaborative workflows1. Both solutions use a central file locking mechanism that ensures real-time collaboration and data consistency12. References = 1: Global File Cache - File Sharing in the Cloud | NetApp, 2: File Caching: Unify Your Data with Talon FAST and NetApp

 FlexClone is an ONTAP feature that allows you to instantly create writable virtual copies of data volumes, files, and LUNs, which do not consume storage space. A FlexClone volume, file, or LUN is a writable point-in-time image of the FlexVol volume or another FlexClone volume, file, or LUN. FlexClone is based on Snapshot technology, which captures a read-only image of a volume at a given point in time. FlexClone is perfect for DevOps and test environments, where multiple copies of a database are needed for testing or development purposes. References = NetApp ONTAP, Storage efficiency features, Storage Snapshots Deep Dive: Cloud Volumes ONTAP Snapshots

Cloud Volumes Service is a fully managed cloud storage service that provides SMB/CIFS and NFS file services for your cloud applications. It is designed for customers who want to use NetApp cloud solutions for their CIFS and iSCSI data but have a very limited staff. Cloud Volumes Service simplifies and automates the deployment, management, and scaling of your file systems, while delivering high performance, availability, security, and data protection. You can also leverage NetApp’s data management capabilities, such as snapshots, clones, replication, and backup, to enhance your data lifecycle management. References = What is Cloud Volumes Service for AWS?, Cloud Volumes Service for AWS Documentation, Cloud Volumes Service for Google Cloud Documentation, Cloud Volumes Service for Azure Documentation

 ONTAP software is the data management software that runs on NetApp storage systems and provides the NAS functionality. ONTAP software owns the file system while provisioning NAS and handles the communication with the clients using NFS or SMB protocols. ONTAP software also provides features such as data protection, efficiency, security, and performance for NAS workloads. References = NetApp ONTAP, Provision NAS storage for both Windows and Linux using both NFS and SMB

BlueXP is a NetApp tool that enables customers to build and operate all of their NetApp storage on premises and in the cloud. BlueXP provides a unified platform for managing, protecting, and optimizing your data across hybrid multicloud environments. BlueXP integrates with NetApp’s portfolio of storage solutions, such as ONTAP, Cloud Volumes, StorageGRID, and E/EF-Series, and supports various data types, such as file, block, and object. BlueXP also offers a range of capabilities, such as backup and recovery, copy and sync, observability, tiering, classification, and ransomware protection, to enhance your data lifecycle management. References = BlueXP overview, BlueXP documentation, BlueXP: The Ultimate Data Management Platform, BlueXP: Simplify Data Management Across Hybrid Multicloud

SnapMirror is a native ONTAP feature that enables customers to create a disaster recovery site and host backups for their on-premises NetApp ONTAP based storage systems in a public cloud. SnapMirror provides reliable, bandwidth-efficient data replication and protection across hybrid multicloud environments. SnapMirror can replicate data from on-premises ONTAP systems to cloud-based ONTAP systems such as Cloud Volumes ONTAP or Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP. SnapMirror also supports data tiering to cloud object storage using FabricPool. References = SnapMirror technology, NetApp ONTAP, Learn about BlueXP disaster recovery for VMware preview
