How NetApp Console works
The NetApp Console is web-based console that's provided through the SaaS layer, a resource and access management system, Console agents that manage storage systems and enable NetApp data services, and different deployment modes to meet your business requirements.
Software-as-a-service
You access the Console through a web-based interface and APIs. This SaaS experience enables you to automatically access the latest features as they're released.
Identity and access management (IAM)
The Console provides identity and access management (IAM) for resource and access management. This IAM model provides granular management of resources and permissions:
-
A top-level organization enables you to manage access across your various projects
-
Folders enable you to group related projects together
-
Resource management enables you to associate a resource with one or more folders or projects
-
Access management enables you to assign a role to members at different levels of the organization hierarchy
Console agents
A Console agent is needed for some additional features and data services. It enables you to manage resources and processes across your on-premises and cloud environments. You need it to manage some systems (for example, Cloud Volumes ONTAP) and to use some NetApp data services.
Deployment modes
NetApp offers two deployment modes for the NetApp Console: Standard mode uses a software as a service (SaaS) layer for full functionality, while restricted mode limits outbound connectivity.
NetApp continues to offer BlueXP for sites that need no outbound connectivity. BlueXP is available in private mode only. Learn about BlueXP (private mode) for sites with no internet connectivity.
SOC 2 Type 2 certification
An independent certified public accountant firm and services auditor examined the Console and affirmed that it achieved SOC 2 Type 2 reports based on the applicable Trust Services criteria.
