Interoperability Matrix Tool overview

Contributors netapp-ranuk

The NetApp Interoperability Matrix Tool (IMT) is a web-based application. IMT enables you to search for configurations of NetApp products and components that meet the standards and requirements specified by NetApp. IMT maintains a repository of configurations, and provides a user-friendly interface for easy access of supported configuration information.

You can access IMT from the NetApp Support Site using one of the following standard browsers:

  • For Windows:

    • Chrome N and N-1

    • Mozilla Firefox N and N-1

      Note N stands for the latest version.

    • Internet Explorer 11 and Edge

  • For Mac:

    • Chrome N and N-1

    • Mozilla Firefox N and N-1

    • Safari 8 and later

    Note The Interoperability Matrix Tool accepts URL links with criteria to simplify certain use cases. When you click a link from another tool to open the IMT, you might land on a playground page, rather than the home page, with a solution and certain components pre-selected.
