NetApp Data Classification deployment methods
NetApp Data Classification supports several deployment methods for different network and connectivity requirements. Review the available methods to choose the option that best fits your environment.
-
Deploy in the cloud using the Console. The Console deploys the Data Classification instance in the same cloud provider network as the Console agent.
-
Install on a Linux host with internet access. Install Data Classification on a Linux host in your network or in the cloud. This option might be useful if you prefer to scan on-premises ONTAP systems from a Data Classification instance located on premises, but locating the instance on premises is not required.
-
Install on a Linux host in an on-premises site without internet access, called private mode. This type of installation, which uses an installation script, has no connectivity to the Console SaaS layer.

For on-premises VMware vSphere deployments, Data Classification supports a simplified deployment with OVA. |
On-premises installation script
Both installation methods use an installation script. The script checks whether the system and environment meet the prerequisites. If they do, installation starts.
A separate software package is available to verify whether your Linux host is ready. To run the verification package, see verify your Linux host is ready to install Data Classification.
