You can deploy NetApp Data Classification in different ways. Learn which method meets your needs.
Data Classification can be deployed in the following ways:
-
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 on a Linux host in the cloud, that has internet access. This type of installation may be a good option if you prefer to scan on-premises ONTAP systems using a Data Classification instance that's also located on premises, though this isn't a requirement.
-
Install on a Linux host in an on-premises site without internet access, also known as private mode. This type of installation, which uses an installation script, has no connectivity to the Console SaaS layer.

BlueXP private mode (legacy BlueXP interface) is typically used with on-premises environments that have no internet connection and with secure cloud regions, which includes AWS Secret Cloud, AWS Top Secret Cloud, and Azure IL6. NetApp continues to support these environments with the legacy BlueXP interface. For private mode documentation in the legacy BlueXP interface, see PDF documentation for BlueXP private mode. |
Both the installation on a Linux host with internet access and the on-premises installation on a Linux host without internet access use an installation script. The script starts by checking if the system and environment meet the prerequisites. If the prerequisites are met, the installation starts. If you would like to verify the prerequisites independently of running the Data Classification installation, there is a separate software package you can download that only tests for the prerequisites.
