NetApp Keystone delivers a guaranteed measurement of maximum number of actual watts per tebibyte (W/TiB) for storage services based on ONTAP flash storage arrays with Sustainability SLA. Sustainability SLA defines the maximum consumption of W/TiB for each eligible service level, helping organizations meet their sustainability goals.
|
SLAs and guarantees are available on a nomination basis. |
Metrics
-
Watts: The power consumption reported from daily AutoSupport, including the usage by the controller and attached disk shelves.
-
Tebibyte: The maximum of:
-
the committed capacity + allocated burst capacity for the service level, or
-
the effective deployed capacity, assuming a storage efficiency factor of
2:1.
To learn more about storage efficiency ratio, refer to Analyze capacity and storage efficiency savings.
