BlueXP classification is a service that enables you to scan and classify data across your organization’s hybrid multicloud. Classification utilizes AI-driven natural language processing (NLP) for contextual data analysis and categorization, giving you actionable insights into your data to address compliance requirements, detect security vulnerabilities, optimize costs, and accelerate migration. BlueXP classification can discover, map, and classify both structured and unstructured data across various data sources, such as NetApp and third-party storage systems, databases, and cloud services. BlueXP classification can also identify access permissions and ownership of data, and apply tags and labels to further organize and protect your data. References = BlueXP classification documentation, Data Classification Tool: Scans and Analyzes Data Automatically

FabricPool is a NetApp ONTAP feature that enables you to tier cold data from your on-premises storage to a more cost-effective location, such as the cloud or an on-premises object store. FabricPool automatically identifies and moves inactive data blocks from the performance tier, which consists of SSDs or HDDs, to the capacity tier, which consists of object storage. FabricPool preserves the data protection, security, and efficiency features of ONTAP, while reducing the storage footprint and costs of your on-premises system. References = Data tiering overview, Managing data tiering for your clusters, Data Tiering and Cloud Tiering Solutions, Cloud Tiering for Intelligent Data Growth Management, Cozy with hot, tier with cold: A data growth simplicity story

NetApp BlueXP observability pricing model is based on the number of managed units (MUs) that you wish to monitor. A managed unit is a logical grouping of resources that can be monitored by Cloud Insights, such as a virtual machine, a Kubernetes pod, a storage volume, or a database instance. The number of managed units is not bound to specific device types, giving you the flexibility to re-deploy in line with your business and infrastructure needs. You canchoose from different subscription plans based on the number of managed units and the duration of the contract. References = Cloud Insights: Infrastructure and Application Monitoring, NetApp Cloud Insights-Monitor and Optimize Your Hybrid Infrastructure

SnapLock Compliance is a NetApp feature that enables you to store customer financial records that are subject to SEC regulations. SnapLock Compliance provides WORM (write once, read many) functionality at the volume level, which means that files cannot be modified, deleted, or overwritten for a specified retention period. SnapLock Compliance also ensures that files are easily accessible and searchable, and that they comply with the SEC Rule 17a-4, which requires financial firms to preserve certain records in a non-rewriteable and non-erasable format. References = SnapLock Compliance overview - NetApp, An independent assessment firm validated that Azure and Office 365 can help financial firms meet SEC Rule 17a-4, SEC Rule 18a-6, FINRA 4511, & CFTC 1.31 records retention and immutable storage requirements..

 SANtricity System Manager is a user interface that enables you to manage a NetApp storage solution that consists of E-Series E2800 controllers. SANtricity System Manager is a web-based graphical interface that provides easy configuration and maintenance of your E-Series storage systems. It also offers performance monitoring, data protection, security, and integration features. SANtricity System Manager is installed on each E-Series controller and can be accessed through a web browser. References = Introduction to NetApp E-Series E2800, E2800 Hybrid Storage System – E-Series Hybrid Flash | NetApp, Controllers - NetApp.

 = BlueXP edge caching and BlueXP copy and sync are two NetApp solutions that can meet the requirements of saving frequently used data locally and centrally locking files for real-time collaboration. BlueXP edge caching creates a software fabric that caches “active datasets” in distributed offices to deliver guaranteed transparent data access and optimal performance on a global scale1. BlueXP copy and sync enables a “single set of data” for users globally to leverage virtual teams and increase their productivity for team and collaborative workflows1. Both solutions use a central file locking mechanism that ensures real-time collaboration and data consistency12. References = 1: Global File Cache - File Sharing in the Cloud | NetApp, 2: File Caching: Unify Your Data with Talon FAST and NetApp

= A Kubernetes cluster is a group of machines that run containerized applications as part of a distributed system. A Kubernetes cluster consists of two types of nodes: worker nodes and master nodes. Worker nodes are the machines that run the actual workloads, such as pods, which are groups of containers. Master nodes are the machines that run the control plane, which is responsible for managing the cluster state, scheduling workloads, and enforcing policies. A cluster must have at least one master node and one or more worker nodes. A cluster can also have multiple master nodes for high availability and load balancing. References = What is Kubernetes Cluster?, Kubernetes Nodes - The Complete Guide, Nodes | Kubernetes

 BlueXP backup and recovery enables you to perform volume, file, and folder-level restore operations from the cloud or on-premises object store. You can restore entire volumes or specific files or folders from any backup file. You can also use the catalog search feature to find and restore files based on a query. References = Learn about BlueXP backup and recovery, BlueXP backup and recovery APIs, [Restore data from the cloud]

BlueXP edge caching is a NetApp BlueXP product that enables a customer to provide read and write access to remote Windows servers from a centralized datastore. BlueXP edge caching allows you to cache data from a BlueXP volume or a Cloud Volume ONTAP system on a local Windows server, which improves the performance and availability of your applications. You can also sync the cached data back to the source volume, ensuring data consistency and protection. References = BlueXP edge caching overview, BlueXP edge caching documentation, BlueXP edge caching: Accelerate access to your data
