PDFs
NetApp Console local deployment includes system-defined policies across all four policy types. Use this reference to identify which policy best fits your workload requirements when creating or customizing a storage class.
Performance policies
- Extreme Performance
-
Use for HPC, AI/ML, and analytics workloads requiring high burst IOPS and predictable low latency.
- Extreme for Database Data
-
Use for transactional database data volumes requiring sustained high IOPS and sub-millisecond latency.
- Extreme for Database Logs
-
Use for database transaction log volumes requiring the highest IOPS floor to prevent write bottlenecks.
- Extreme for Database Shared Data
-
Use for shared database volumes accessed by multiple hosts requiring high throughput and consistent latency.
- Performance
-
Use for virtualized and enterprise applications requiring reliable performance without extreme IOPS demands.
- Value
-
Use for cost-sensitive workloads such as home directories, file shares, and archives.
Capacity policies
- Autogrow capacity
-
Use for production workloads that must expand automatically to prevent out-of-space failures.
Security policies
- Encryption at-rest
-
Use for production workloads where encryption is required for compliance.
- Ransomware protection
-
Use for workloads containing sensitive or business-critical data that require active ransomware protection.
- Standard security
-
Use for workloads where platform default security behavior is acceptable.
Data protection policies
- default
-
Use for standard workloads requiring short-term recovery points without long-term retention overhead.
- 3month-hourly
-
Use for regulated or business-critical workloads requiring granular intra-day recovery points and three months of historical retention.
- 30-day recovery
-
Use for standard workloads requiring short-term recovery points without long-term retention overhead.
- 90-day recovery
-
Use for regulated or business-critical workloads requiring granular intra-day recovery points and three months of historical retention.
