About

NetApp Cloud Tiering service extends your ONTAP-based clusters by leveraging low-cost object storage of your choice. Without compromising on manageability and performance, Cloud Tiering efficiently manages your storage pool by placing your data at the right tier at the right time. Integrated into NetApp Cloud Manager, Cloud Tiering provides full visibility and control across all your hybrid cloud storage clusters from a single endpoint.

Tiering Policies

bucket_a

PolicyCold Snapshot (Snapshot-only) Cold snapshots data is moved
to cloud object storage

Use Case
  • Entry level tiering.
  • Enables extended snapshots retention.
bucket_b

PolicyCold User Data (Auto) Cold data (user and snapshot) is moved to cloud object storage

Use Case
  • Primary storage tiering.
  • Optimize storage for mission critical & latency sensitive workloads.
bucket_c

PolicyAll User Data (All) Complete volumes entirely
moved to cloud object storage

Use Case
  • Secondary storage tiering.
  • Expand the amount of replicated volumes for backup and DR.
