Keystone STaaS service supports unified, block-optimized, and object storage of NetApp, and Cloud Volumes ONTAP.

The supported storage options are:

  • Unified storage: Includes both file, block, and S3 object storage, available on NetApp ONTAP AFF as well as FAS systems.

  • Block-optimized storage: Includes block storage available on NetApp ONTAP ASA systems.

  • Object storage: Includes object storage available on NetApp StorageGRID systems.

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.

Keystone STaaS services can be used at the same time. For example, a cloud storage subscription can have the same term as unified, block-optimized, and object storage subscriptions. A cloud service can be included at any point during the service term of an existing storage subscription. However, if you do not plan to renew an existing unified, block-optimized, or object storage subscription, a cloud storage subscription cannot be added during the last 90 days of the subscription.
