Automated Data Tiering to Amazon S3 with ONTAP Cloud: Optimizing DR Operations and Costs

Disaster recovery (DR) is a critical requirement for all enterprise platforms. However, during regular operation, the DR environment might be idle, which creates an imbalance between the cost of running the environment and the day-to-day benefits gained from it. 

With the advent of storage tiering, NetApp® ONTAP® Cloud now solves this problem by allowing Amazon S3 to be used as a capacity tier for infrequently accessed data.

In this White Paper, you will get a full understanding of:

• How data tiering works
• The major benefits of using ONTAP Cloud
• How to create, set up or move Tiering to Amazon S3
