Clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 architecture

This chapter describes the architecture of Clustered Data ONTAP, with an emphasis on the separation of physical resources and virtualized containers. Virtualization of storage and network physical resources is the basis for scale-out and non-disruptive operations.

The following topics are covered:

•Hardware support and basic system overview

•Clustered Data ONTAP hardware architecture

•Storage virtual machine

•Understanding cluster quorum, epsilon, and data availability

•Multi-tenancy

•Multi-tenancy

•Clustered ...
