You can deploy NetApp Data Classification in different ways. Review the available methods to choose which one best suits your needs.
-
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.
|
For on-premises VMware vSphere deployments, Data Classification supports a simplified deployment with OVA. |
On-premises installation script
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.
A separate software package is available to verify the readiness of your Linux. To run the verification package, see verify your Linux host is ready to install Data Classification.
