The features are summarized as follows: 

  • RAID-4, RAID-DP, and RAID-TEC data protection: Provides the flexibility to choose the level of data protection required and helps improve performance and availability with built-in spare capacity and by distributing data across all physical drives in the aggregate, sustaining to up to one (RAID-4), two (RAID-DP), or three (RAID-TEC) concurrent drive failures. 
  • All Flash Array (AFA) capability: Meets the demand for higher speed, lower latency storage and provides higher IOPS and bandwidth with lower power usage and total cost of ownership than hybrid or HDD-based solutions.
  • Thin provisioning: Optimizes efficiency by allocating storage space based on the minimum space required by each application at any given time, so that applications consume only the space they are actually using, not the total space that has been allocated to them, which allows customers to purchase storage they need today and add more as application requirements grow. 
  • Compression: Provides transparent inline and post-process data compression to reduce the amount of storage that customers need to purchase and manage. 
  • Compaction: enhances compression to further reduce the amount of storage that customers need to purchase and manage. 
  • Deduplication: Performs general-purpose deduplication for removal of redundant data to reduce the amount of storage that customers need to purchase and manage. 
  • Snapshots: Enables creation of read-only copies of data for backup, parallel processing, testing, and development, and have the copies available almost immediately. 
  • Encryption: Provides software-based encryption for data at rest for enhanced data security with the traditional drives and embedded key management (requires the encryption-capable version of the ONTAP software). 
  • Balanced placement: Provides automated workload distribution across the cluster to help increase utilization and performance. 
  • Dynamic capacity expansion: Allows the capacity of a volume or aggregate to be expanded by adding new physical drives. 
  • Adaptive Quality of Service: Simplifies operations and maintains consistent workload performance by defining QoS policies and automatically adjusting storage resources to respond to workload changes. 
  • SnapRestore: Enables quick recovery of data by reverting a local volume or file to its previous state from a particular snapshot copy stored on the file system. 
  • FlexClone: References snapshot metadata to create writable point-in-time copies of a volume. 
  • FlexVol: Provides abstraction layer between the logical volume and its physical location in the storage array. 
  • FlexCache: Speeds up access to data and offloads traffic from heavily accessed volumes for read-intensive workloads by placing frequently used data in cache locally or remotely (closer to the point of client access) and serving the data to the clients directly from cache without accessing the data source. 
  • SnapMirror asynchronous replication: Provides storage system-based data replication between the storage systems containing source (local) and destination (remote) volumes by using asynchronous (at specified regular intervals) data transfers over IP communication links. 
  • SyncMirror data protection: Adds extra level of data protection and availability by mirroring a pair of RAID aggregates. 
  • Trusted Platform Module (TPM): For encryption enabled systems.  The encryption keys for the onboard key manager (OKM) are no longer stored in the boot device, but instead are stored in the physical TPM for systems so equipped, offering greater security and protection. Moving to the TPM is a nondisruptive process.
  • MetroCluster IP: Provides storage system-based clustering with online, real-time data mirroring between the local and remote sites by using synchronous data transfers over IP communication links to deliver continuous availability with zero RPO and near-zero RTO. All storage systems in a MetroCluster IP configuration must be of the same model. New to ONTAP 9.11: MetroCluster with Storage Virtual Machine Disaster Recovery (SVM-DR) can now use a third site for the SVM-DR
  • NVMe over FC Protocol: Enables NVMe over FC
  • NVMe over TCP Protocol: Enables NVMe over TCP
  • Data Protection Optimized (DPO): Increases the amount of concurrent SnapMirror sessions per node, as well as improving SnapMirror performance to the cluster.
  • SnapMirror Business Continuity (SMBC): Non-disruptive failover active-active cross site clusters. Based on existing SnapMirror Synchronous Replication. Offers Zero data loss, zero downtime. You do not have to failover the application. If there is a failure the application will continue to run and there will be no need to restart.
  • SnapMirror synchronous replication: Provides storage system-based data replication between the storage systems containing source (local) and destination (remote) volumes by using synchronous (as soon as the data is written to the source volume)
  • FlexGroup: Enables a single volume to span across multiple clustered storage arrays to maximize storage capacity and automate load distribution. New to ONTAP 9.11: FlexGroups can now be created as SnapLock volumes.
  • SnapVault disk-based storage backup: Enables data stored on multiple systems to be backed up to a central, secondary system quickly and efficiently as read-only snapshot copies. 
  • SnapCenter: Provides application- and virtual machine-aware backup and restoration of data by using the Snapshots technology and leverages the SnapMirror capabilities of storage systems to provide onsite or offsite backup set mirroring for disaster recovery. 
  • ONTAP S3: Expands the DM Series unified story and allows customers to manage, block, file, and object data from one interface. Customers can now natively store data in S3 buckets onboard the DM Series. 
  • ONTAP S3 SnapMirror : Enables you to protect buckets in ONTAP S3 object stores using familiar SnapMirror mirroring and backup functionality. Requires ONTAP 9.11 or later on both source and destination clusters. Requires the Unified Premium Bundle.
  • SnapMirror Cloud: A backup and recovery technology designed for ONTAP users who want to transition their data protection workflows to the cloud. SnapMirror Cloud is an extension to the family of SnapMirror replication technologies. While SnapMirror is frequently used for ONTAP-to-ONTAP backups, SnapMirror Cloud uses the same replication engine to transfer Snapshot copies for ONTAP to S3-compliant object storage backups.
  • Multitenant Key Management (MTKM): Provides the ability for individual tenants or storage virtual machines (SVMs) to maintain their own keys through KMIP for NVE. With multitenant external key management, you can centralize your organization’s key management functions by department or tenant while inherently confirming that keys are not stored near the assets. This approach decreases the possibility of compromise.
  • Anti-ransomware: Uses workload analysis in NAS (NFS and SMB) environments to proactively detect and warn about abnormal activity that might indicate a ransomware attack. When an attack is suspected, anti-ransomware also creates new Snapshot backups, in addition to existing protection from scheduled Snapshot copies. New to ONTAP 9.11: Optional multi-admin verification to approve administration functions that could result in data loss.

Add-on feature bundles:

  • Security and Compliance Bundle: Licensed per 2-node HA Pair, the Security and Compliance Bundle provides built-in protection from ransomware and while also providing the ability to meet regulatory compliance and organizational data retention requirements.
    • Includes: Anti-ransomware feature with Multitenant Key Management (MTKM) and SnapLock
  • Hybrid Cloud Bundle: Licensed per TB (3 Year & 5 Year Offerings) the Hybrid Cloud Bundle provides the ability to use S3 SnapMirror from ONTAP to the Public Cloud (AWS S3) and/or SnapMirror Cloud with participating ISV Backup providers.
    • Includes SnapMirror Cloud and FabricPool

Optional Extended features also available via Feature on Demand (FoD) (see the Extended ONTAP features section)

  • FabricPool: FabricPool is a hybrid storage solution that uses an all flash (all SSD) aggregate as the performance tier and an object store as the external capacity tier. Data in a FabricPool is stored in a tier based on whether it is frequently accessed or not. Using a FabricPool helps you reduce storage cost without compromising performance, efficiency, or protection.
  • No license is required when tiering to StorageGRID or ONTAP S3.
  • SnapLock data protection: Creates Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) non-rewritable, non-erasable data on hard disk drives to prevent files from being altered or deleted until a predetermined or default retention date.

In addition, your TAM will help proactively make service recommendations and manage your service relationship with Lenovo to make certain your needs are met.

  • Enterprise Server Software Support

    Enterprise Software Support is an additional support service providing customers with software support on Microsoft, Red Hat, SUSE, and VMware applications and systems. Around the clock availability for critical problems plus unlimited calls and incidents helps customers address challenges fast, without incremental costs. Support staff can answer troubleshooting and diagnostic questions, address product comparability and interoperability issues, isolate causes of problems, report defects to software vendors, and more.

  • YourDrive YourData

    Lenovo’s YourDrive YourData is a multi-drive retention offering that ensures your data is always under your control, regardless of the number of drives that are installed in your Lenovo server. In the unlikely event of a drive failure, you retain possession of your drive while Lenovo replaces the failed drive part. Your data stays safely on your premises, in your hands. The YourDrive YourData service can be purchased in convenient bundles and is optional with Foundation Service. It is bundled with Essential Service and Advanced Service.

  • Health Check

    Having a trusted partner who can perform regular and detailed health checks is central to maintaining efficiency and ensuring that your systems and business are always running at their best. Health Check supports Lenovo-branded server, storage, and networking devices, as well as select Lenovo-supported products from other vendors that are sold by Lenovo or a Lenovo-Authorized Reseller.

Examples of region-specific warranty terms are second or longer business day parts delivery or parts-only base warranty.

If warranty terms and conditions include onsite labor for repair or replacement of parts, Lenovo will dispatch a service technician to the customer site to perform the replacement. Onsite labor under base warranty is limited to labor for replacement of parts that have been determined to be field-replaceable units (FRUs). Parts that are determined to be customer-replaceable units (CRUs) do not include onsite labor under base warranty.

If warranty terms include parts-only base warranty, Lenovo is responsible for delivering only replacement parts that are under base warranty (including FRUs) that will be sent to a requested location for self-service. Parts-only service does not include a service technician being dispatched onsite. Parts must be changed at customer’s own cost and labor and defective parts must be returned following the instructions supplied with the spare parts.

Lenovo Service offerings are region-specific. Not all preconfigured support and upgrade options are available in every region. For information about Lenovo service upgrade offerings that are available in your region, refer to the following resources:

Here’s a more in-depth look at what we can do for you:

  • Asset Recovery Services

    Asset Recovery Services (ARS) helps customers recover the maximum value from their end-of-life equipment in a cost-effective and secure way. On top of simplifying the transition from old to new equipment, ARS mitigates environmental and data security risks associated with data center equipment disposal. Lenovo ARS is a cash-back solution for equipment based on its remaining market value, yielding maximum value from aging assets and lowering total cost of ownership for your customers. For more information, see the ARS page, https://lenovopress.com/lp1266-reduce-e-waste-and-grow-your-bottom-line-with-lenovo-ars.

  • Assessment Services

    An Assessment helps solve your IT challenges through an onsite, multi-day session with a Lenovo technology expert. We perform a tools-based assessment which provides a comprehensive and thorough review of a company's environment and technology systems. In addition to the technology based functional requirements, the consultant also discusses and records the non-functional business requirements, challenges, and constraints. Assessments help organizations like yours, no matter how large or small, get a better return on your IT investment and overcome challenges in the ever-changing technology landscape.

  • Design Services

    Professional Services consultants perform infrastructure design and implementation planning to support your strategy. The high-level architectures provided by the assessment service are turned into low level designs and wiring diagrams, which are reviewed and approved prior to implementation. The implementation plan will demonstrate an outcome-based proposal to provide business capabilities through infrastructure with a risk-mitigated project plan.

  • Basic Hardware Installation

    Lenovo experts can seamlessly manage the physical installation of your server, storage, or networking hardware. Working at a time convenient for you (business hours or off shift), the technician will unpack and inspect the systems on your site, install options, mount in a rack cabinet, connect to power and network, check and update firmware to the latest levels, verify operation, and dispose of the packaging, allowing your team to focus on other priorities.

  • Deployment Services

    When investing in new IT infrastructures, you need to ensure your business will see quick time to value with little to no disruption. Lenovo deployments are designed by development and engineering teams who know our Products & Solutions better than anyone else, and our technicians own the process from delivery to completion. Lenovo will conduct remote preparation and planning, configure & integrate systems, validate systems, verify and update appliance firmware, train on administrative tasks, and provide post-deployment documentation. Customer’s IT teams leverage our skills to enable IT staff to transform with higher level roles and tasks.

  • Integration, Migration, and Expansion Services

    Move existing physical & virtual workloads easily, or determine technical requirements to support increased workloads while maximizing performance. Includes tuning, validation, and documenting ongoing run processes. Leverage migration assessment planning documents to perform necessary migrations.
