Introducing MultiStore
Secure, multi-tenancy for Data ONTAP®
Creates multiple virtual storage controllers (vFiler
units) on a single NetApp storage system.
– Virtual Storage Controllers
Up to 64 vFiler unitson a single Data ONTAP
storage system.
MultiStore is IP Storage based (NFS, CIFS, iSCSI).
Each vFiler unit contains data volumes, access
control information and network mappings.
Each vFiler unit is secure.
– Data owned by one vfiler unit can not be accessed by
any other vFiler unit even though they are hosted on
the same physical storage system.
