High Availability Critical for Storage in the Digital Business Era

As enterprises move through digital transformation, IT infrastructure is becoming more and more critical to day-to-day business operations. As IT organizations refresh existing storage infrastructure to better accommodate the requirements of cloud-native and other new workloads, high availability is a top consideration.

Storage solutions must be able to be configured to provide the level of availability needed for individual workloads, all the way up to and including continuous availability for those most mission- critical workloads.

This white paper discusses evolving availability requirements in digitally transforming enterprises, identifying a
checklist of critical features needed to meet these increasingly stringent uptime and resiliency requirements. It then
reviews the high availability features available on NetApp’s ONTAP- based enterprise-class storage solutions.
