N3000 NAS
| Feature | Benefits | IBM System Storage N3000 Express series software features at a glance |
|---|---|---|
| Software | Description | Benefit |
| Advanced Single Instance Storage | Performs block level data de-duplication on NearStore data volumes | Volume data is automatically scanned and deduplicated, resulting in immediate space savings with minimal impact on operations |
| Data ONTAP | N series storage operating system providing full-featured and unified data management for both block and file serving environments | Single architecture and user interface simplify data management and reduce costs for SAN and NAS deployment |
| Disk Sanitization | The process of physically obliterating data by overwriting disks with specified byte patterns or random data | Helps prevents recovery of current data by any known recovery methods |
| FlexCache | Creates a flexible, horizontally scalable caching layer within your storage infrastructure that automatically adapts to changing usage patterns to eliminate bottlenecks | Intended to improve application response times for large compute farms, speed data access for remote users, or create a tiered storage infrastructure that circumvents tedious data management tasks |
| FlexClone | Instantaneously creates LUN and volume clones without requiring additional storage | Accelerated test and development and storage capacity savings |
| FlexShare | Prioritizes storage resource allocation to highest value workloads on a heavily loaded system | Ensures that best performance is provided to designated high-priority applications |
| FlexVol | Creates flexibly sized LUNs and volumes across a large pool of disks and one or more RAID groups | Fast, simple, and flexible storage provisioning and high-capacity utilization |
| MultiStore | Securely partitions a storage system into multiple virtual storage appliances | Enables secure consolidation of multiple domains and file servers |
| NearStore (near-line) | Increases the maximum number of concurrent data streams (per storage controller) | Enhances backup, data protection and disaster preparedness by increasing the number of concurrent data streams between two N series systems |
| Operations Manager | Manages multiple N series systems from a single administrative console | Faster deployment and consolidated management of multiple N series systems |
| System Manager | Manages a single N series storage system from a single administrative console | System setup and configuration management for fast deployment of a single N series system |
| Protection Manager | Backup and replication management software for N series disk-to-disk environment | Improves productivity through automation of data protection tasks; delivers higher assurance of data protection than with manual execution of tasks by reducing human errors |
| Provisioning Manager | An easy-to-use application that allows administrators to apply consistent data set provisioning policies across the enterprise, automate complex provisioning processes, check policy conformance and pool storage resources for higher utilization | Policy-based automation simplifies storage provisioning, ensuring that the provisioning process is repeatable, scalable and auditable, while mitigating the risk of data loss due to misconfigured storage |
| RAID-DP | Double parity bit, RAID protection. (N series RAID 6 implementation) | Protects against data loss due to double disk failures, and media bit errors occurring during drive rebuild processes. |
| SecureAdmin | Authenticates both the administrative user and the N series system, creating a secure, direct communication link to the N series system | Helps protects administrative logins, passwords, and session commands from cleartext snooping by replacing RSH and telnet with the strongly encrypted SSH protocol |
| Single Mailbox Recovery for Exchange (SMBR) | Enables the recovery of a single mailbox from a Microsoft Exchange Information Store | SMBR can extract a single mailbox or email directly in minutes compared to hours with traditional methods. Helps eliminate the need for IT staff intensive, complex and time-consuming exchange server and mailbox recovery for time-consuming |
| SnapDrive | Provides host-based data management of N series storage from Windows, UNIX, and Linux servers | Simplifies host-consistent Snapshot copy creation and automates error-free restores |
| SnapLock (requires Data ONTAP 7.2.5) | Write-protects structured application data files within a volume to provide WORM disk storage | Provides storage enabling compliance with government records retention regulations |
| SnapManager | Provides host-based data management of N series storage for databases and business applications | Simplifies application-consistent Snapshot copies, automates error-free data restores, and enables application-aware disaster recovery |
| SnapMirror | Enables automatic, incremental data replication between systems: synchronous or asynchronous | Provides flexible, space- and network-efficient site-to-site mirroring for disaster recovery and data distribution |
| SnapMover | Enables rapid reassignment of disks between controllers within a system without disruption | Enables fast, nondisruptive load balancing within an active-active controller system |
| SnapRestore | Rapidly restores single files, directories, or entire LUNs and volumes from any Snapshot backup | Enables near-instantaneous recovery of files, databases, and complete volumes |
| Snapshot | Makes incremental, data-in-place, point-in-time copies of a LUN or volume with minimal performance impact | Enables frequent, nondisruptive, space-efficient, and quickly restorable backups |
| SnapValidator | Maximizes data integrity for Oracle Databases | Enhances Oracle Database resiliency in compliance with Oracle HARD initiative |
| SnapVault | Exports Snapshot copies to another N series system, providing an incremental block-level backup solution | Enables cost-effective, long-term retention of rapidly restorable disk-based backups |
| SyncMirror | Maintains two online copies of data with RAID-DP protection on each side of the mirror | Protects against all types of hardware outages, including triple disk failure |
| Software Packs | Simplified ordering of combinations of software features: Foundation Pack (SnapRestore, SnapVault Primary, Provisioning Manager), Protection Pack (SnapMirror, SnapVault Secondary, Protection Manager) and Advanced Pack (FlexClone, MultiStore, and SnapLock) For N3400 series: Application Pack (SnapManager, SnapDrive, DSM, SMBR) and Server Pack (SnapManager Virtual Infrastructure, SnapDrive, DSM) |
Provide flexibility to take advantage of breakthrough capabilities, while maximizing value with a considerable discount |
| Software Bundles | Windows Bundle (CIFS, SnapRestore, SnapVault Primary and Secondary, SnapMirror, SnapDrive for Unix and Windows, Protection Manager, Provisioning Manager, ONTAP DSM for Windows MPIO, SnapManager (for all products), also for MS Hyper-V, SMBR Windows) Server Virtualization Bundle (NFS, SnapRestore, SnapVault Primary, and Secondary, SnapMirror, SnapManager for Virtual Infrastructures, and for MS Hyper-V, SnapDrive for UNIX and Windows, Provisioning Manager, Protection Manager, and ONTAP DSM for Windows MPIO) Complete Bundle (NFS, CIFS, Snaprestore, SnapVault Primary and Secondary, SnapMirror, FlexClone, MultiStore, SnapLock, SnapManager (for all products) also for MS Hyper-V, SnapDrive for Unix and Windows (Filer), SMBR Windows, and one license per node of Protection Manager, Provisioning Manager, ONTAP DSM for Windows MPIO) |
