Enter Clustered Data ONTAP

Clustered Data ONTAP evolved from the acquisition of Spinnaker Networks in 2003. It uses a clustered hardware architecture with HA pairs of controllers connected by a cluster interconnect and can scale to 24 nodes for NAS and 8 nodes for SAN, with a maximum capacity of 138PB. Data and workloads are distributed across nodes for performance scaling and high availability.

Enter Clustered Data ONTAP…

Overcoming the scalability limitations of 7‐mode would have required 
a complete rewrite of the 7‐Mode software architecture.

Capacity Scaling

Clustered Data ONTAP can scale to 24 nodes when only NAS protocols 
are being used.
It can scale to 8 nodes for clusters supporting SAN protocols.
A single cluster can be scaled to 138PB.
Disks, shelves and nodes can be added non‐disruptively.
Operational Scaling

A cluster is managed as a single system.
The cluster can be virtualized into different virtual storage systems 
called SVM Storage Virtual Machines or Vservers.
SVMs appear as a single system to clients.
SVM level administrators can be created with access to only their 
own SVM.
Data can be moved easily and non‐disruptively between all nodes in 
the cluster. Moves are carried out over the cluster interconnect.
Performance Scaling

Data processing is spread throughout the different nodes in the cluster, 
each with their own CPU, memory and network resources. 
The system provides linear performance scaling and load balancing 
across the cluster.
Data can be mirrored or cached across multiple nodes in the cluster.
