We all know NetApp as a leader in file data storage, but did you know that over 5,000 customers rely on us for their SAN (Storage Area Network) workloads too? Yep, that's right! We've been perfecting storage solutions for SAN workloads for over two decades. And now, we're taking things up a notch.
As NetApp expands its SaaS offerings with our Intelligent Services, it was the next logical step to expand our ransomware protection to SAN workloads as well. This move marks a significant step forward in our mission to provide comprehensive data protection across all storage environments.
Our advanced ransomware protection, which includes AI-based detection, automated workflows, application-consistent protection policies, recommended actions, and guided recovery is now available for SAN-based workloads. This means your SAN workloads can enjoy the same robust protection as your NAS (Network Attached Storage) systems. Additional benefits, include:
- Centralized management. The ransomware protection service can manage NAS and SAN-based storage from a single pane of glass, making it especially well-suited for mixed file and block environments.
- Expanded security posture. Extending support to SAN workloads amplifies the benefits of the ransomware protection service, strengthening your organization’s overall security posture without adding more tools or complexity.
- More comprehensive compliance: With more workloads leveraging the same security policies, workflows, and reporting mechanisms, you can meet your corporate and compliance requirements more efficiently.
These updates, available with ONTAP 9.17.1, bring more comprehensive ransomware protection to your SAN workloads. Whether you're new to NetApp or a long-time user, this enhancement is designed to make your data protection strategy more seamless and effective.
