19. Introducing Clustered ONTAP 19
20. Guiding Principles for Clusters 20  Non-Stop and Non Disruptive  Virtualized Access is the Managed Entity  Object Mobility and Container Transparency  “as-a-Single System” Computing  Delegated Management  Ubiquitous Access
21. 21 ONTAP-V VSA VSA VMware FAS2000 FAS3000 FAS6000 V-Series Remember These?
22. 22 The Cluster • Information Boundary • Domain of Information Movement • Domain of High Availability • Where vServers Operate • Fosters Config Coherency
23. Key Concepts Before Moving On 23 The vServer • Secure Virtualized Storage Server • Highest User-Visible Element • Hosted on a Single Cluster • Provisions Cluster Resources • A Delegable Cluster Tenant vServer
24. Key Concepts Before Moving On 24 A Node • Physical Entity Running ONTAP • Natively Executes on:  NetApp Controller  ONTAP-V (VSA)  3rd Party Array via V-Series FILE BLOC K Cluster Network Data Path Manager Cluster Interface Storage Assigned to Node

36. 5 Things to get Really Excited About 36
37.  Move data to available nodes  Retire existing hardware 37 A3 A A1 A2 C C1 C2 C3 Data Network A A1 C2 C3 C C1 B0 B1 B2 B3 A4 A4 C4 A2 #1 Always On: Non-Disruptive Operations B0 B1 B2 B3 C4 A3
38.  Move data to available nodes  Retire existing hardware  Upgrade storage  Rebalance the load 38 A3 A A1 A2 C C1 C2 C3 Data Network A A1 C2 C3 C C1 B0 B1 B2 B3 A4 A4 C4 A2 B0 B1 B2 B3 C4 A3 Transparent to all clients and applications #1 Always On: Non-Disruptive Operations
39. A3 #2 On-Demand Flexibility  Start small  Expand cluster as business grows  Keep secure isolation among tenants  Rebalance performance or capacity for critical workloads  Use SAN or NAS Transparent to all clients and applications A A1 A2 C C1 C2 C3 Data Network A A1 A2 A3 C2 C3 C C1 B0 B1 B2 B3 B0 B1 B2 B3 39
40. #3 Operational Efficiency  Tiered storage: – Match data to disk price and performance – Manage multiple tiers in the same namespace or many – Examples:  Reference data  Disaster-recovery mirror destination  Scalable archives B C A2 A3 C1 C2 Projects A B C A1 A2 A3 B1 B2 C1 C2 C3 A1 B1 High-Speed Storage (Highest Performance across All Workloads) High-Capacity Storage (Lower $ per GB) B2 C3 40
41. #3 Operational Efficiency (continued)  Secure risk isolation for customers and departments  Role-based access control  All Protocols: NFS, CIFS, iSCSI, FC, and FCoE Customer A Customer C Customer B Application A1-A3 Application B1-B3 Application C1-C3 Virtual Storage Controller Host multiple customers securely on a shared infrastructure C C1 C2 C3 A A1 A3 A2 Vserver B B1 B2 B3 Vserver Virtual Storage Controller Virtual Storage Controller 41
