ONTAP is a data management software developed by NetApp that helps businesses create a unified hybrid cloud storage infrastructure. It simplifies data management across on-premises and cloud environments, allowing organizations to protect their data, optimize costs, and adapt to changing business needs. With ONTAP, companies can efficiently manage workloads, automate tasks, and ensure data security against threats like ransomware.

ONTAP includes a robust set of security features designed to protect data across hybrid cloud environments. It offers autonomous ransomware protection that uses machine learning to identify threats, multi-admin verification to prevent unauthorized changes, and built-in encryption for data at rest and in transit. These capabilities help ensure that data remains secure and recoverable in the event of an attack.

ONTAP allows businesses to scale their storage environments seamlessly, accommodating workloads from a few terabytes up to 176PB. Organizations can expand their systems by adding capacity to existing storage controllers or by adding new controllers to their clusters. This flexibility ensures that as business demands change, the storage infrastructure can grow without disruption, whether on-premises or in the cloud.
