Tiering

Reclaim your high-performance storage resources

NetApp® Tiering achieves continuously available capacity across your high-performance storage resources by automatically moving infrequently accessed (“cold”) data to low-cost object storage.

Read the solution brief

Never run out of continuous high-performance storage capacity with NetApp Tiering

Harnessing the power of NetApp ONTAP® FabricPool technology, Tiering continuously monitors cold data and relocates it to low-cost storage.

Infrequently used data is automatically discovered and moved to object storage.

Applications continue to access the tiered data in the same way—no need to refactor.

Data is always available for immediate access: If tiered data is needed, it’s automatically moved back.

Simple and transparent

Finally, an intuitive and automated tiering approach that puts cold data in its place.

Guided steps and rule-based parameters establish your tiering criteria quickly.
Tiering operates transparently in the background, with no impacts to the application layer.
A fully customizable API set enables more advanced use.

Robust security

Tier your data with confidence, knowing your data is protected.

AES-256-GCM encryption is maintained across tiered data with TLS 1.2 encryption for data in transit.
Security credentials through the Connector are perpetually retained within your VPN, VNet, or on-premises environment.

For me, NetApp benefits are data management, ease of use, and support. Active IQ is brilliant. I have never seen a vendor with such proactive support.
