Keystone STaaS supports unified, block-optimized, AFX, and object storage on NetApp platforms, as well as Cloud Volumes ONTAP. Each storage type is defined as a data storage type (DST) and is available with standard services included in the base subscription, along with optional add-on services.

Keystone STaaS standard and add-on services

Keystone STaaS provides standard and optional services for your storage.

Keystone STaaS standard services: Standard services are included within the base subscription and are not charged separately.

Keystone STaaS add-on services: These are optional, chargeable services that provide additional utilities and benefits on top of standard Keystone STaaS subscription services.

You can subscribe to multiple Keystone STaaS services at the same time. When cloud services are added to a subscription, they share the same term as unified, block-optimized, and/or object storage. A cloud service can be added at any point during an active storage subscription. However, if you do not plan to renew an existing unified, block-optimized, or object storage subscription, a cloud service cannot be added during the last 90 days of that subscription.

Note An AFX subscription is standalone and cannot be combined with unified, block-optimized, or object storage in the same subscription. If you need AFX alongside other storage types, you must order them as separate subscriptions.

Services for cloud storage

Keystone STaaS provides cloud storage services. Keystone STaaS supports Cloud Volumes ONTAP data management capabilities on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.

Note Hyperscaler-based compute, storage, and network services required by Cloud Volumes ONTAP are not provided by NetApp as a part of Keystone STaaS subscriptions; these subscriptions need to be procured directly from hyperscaler cloud service providers.
