WORM storage

Contributors netapp-aherbin netapp-lenida netapp-mwallis

SnapLock is a high-performance compliance solution for organizations that use write once, read many (WORM) storage to retain critical files in unmodified form for regulatory and governance purposes.

A single license entitles you to use SnapLock in strict Compliance mode, to satisfy external mandates like SEC Rule 17a-4(f), and a looser Enterprise mode, to meet internally mandated regulations for the protection of digital assets. SnapLock uses a tamper-proof ComplianceClock to determine when the retention period for a WORM file has elapsed.

You can use SnapLock for SnapVault to WORM-protect Snapshot copies on secondary storage. You can use SnapMirror to replicate WORM files to another geographic location for disaster recovery and other purposes.
