A little windy, but the sun is shining and the pool is open at #NetAppInsight.

Join me tomorrow in the #FabricPool: Session 1277-2 at 10:30.

[Mitch Buchannon @fp_lifeguard]

@MathiasRobichon Specifically the WAFL (Write Anywhere File Layout) block level inside #ONTAP. #FabricPool is total transparent to SAN (block) and NAS (file) protocols and works with both.

[Mitch Buchannon @fp_lifeguard]

@OsamaMasfary Try to avoid cascades when using the Backup volume tiering policy. Instead of using the Backup, consider using Auto and scheduling the data protection operations to take place before the data gets cold.

[Mitch Buchannon @fp_lifeguard]

@jason_daniel @jason_daniel, Add #IBMCloud to the options that you can tier to in ONTAP 9.5. Think #Cleversafe, #SoftLayer, and others, all under the IBM Cloud Object Storage (ICOS) banner.

[Mitch Buchannon @fp_lifeguard]

@Red8IT Better still, with ONTAP 9.5, #FabricPool now supports FlexGroup volumes as well as IBM Cloud Object Storage and Amazon C2S endpoints.

Another beautiful day in Vegas. Hanging out at the #FabricPool. ONTAP really does make tiering data this easy. #NetAppInsight

[Mitch Buchannon @fp_lifeguard]

Checked in. Great view of six pools + wave pool + endless river. Ready to deep dive into the #FabricPool tomorrow. #NetAppInsight

@philliphardynz @NetAppInsight @NetApp @FlexPod @SolidFire @NetAppANZ I normally wear flip flops, but wow, I love those #NetApp HCI socks!

[Mitch Buchannon @fp_lifeguard]

Mandalay Bay has many great pools, but the #FabricPool Deep Dive (session 1143-2) is where you'll learn how #ONTAP can automatically tier inactive data to low-cost clouds. #NetAppInsight

[Mitch Buchannon @fp_lifeguard]

@BenjaminPDurand @NetAppUnited @NetApp_Cloud @NetAppFrance @ScasiBFix @SCASICOMP Of the 91+ GB, what percentage was FabricPool able to tier to S3?

[Mitch Buchannon @fp_lifeguard]

@NFSDudeAbides @jkrippy Shrimp, er, I mean, NetApp Cloud Volumes, provide a more consistent experience and you still have plenty of options. There's Cloud Volumes ONTAP, Cloud Volumes Service for AWS, Cloud Volumes Service for GCP, Azure NetApp Files ...

@NetAppDoc My favorite pool-side recipe uses guacamole, but my favorite #FabricPool recipe uses inactive data reporting. Mmm. #ONTAP https://t.co/XNTQhzytVo

[Mitch Buchannon @fp_lifeguard]

@data_stefan Have you thought about hybrid cloud solutions for databases as well? Check out TR-4695: Database Storage Tiering with #FabricPool. https://t.co/3JjpoxiGN4

[Mitch Buchannon @fp_lifeguard]

Want to test latency and throughput performance of object stores BEFORE you create #FabricPool aggregates? Use the Object Store Profiler in #ONTAP 9.4. https://t.co/OEWIrKch1s

[Mitch Buchannon @fp_lifeguard]

How much of your data is cold & inactive? See how much with Inactive Data Reporting. (Then save money by tiering it to the cloud w/ #FabricPool) #ONTAP #DataDriven https://t.co/1udEZedbFe

[Mitch Buchannon @fp_lifeguard]

It's not just traditional data centers that can take advantage of cost savings with #FabricPool. Cloud Volumes ONTAP let's you keep hot workloads in Azure or AWS and automatically tiers cold data to less expensive Blob Storage or S3.

[Octavian Tanase @octav]

#ONTAP customers have the opportunity to tier cold data not only from on-prem deployments, but also when running Cloud Volumes ONTAP in the AWS or Azure clouds. #DataDriven

@GrantACaley @NetApp Have your flash and tier it too!

[Mitch Buchannon @fp_lifeguard]

Great new video on #FabricPool tiering policies in #ONTAP. Not just how to set them, (easy) but why you'd want to. https://t.co/JKf712IMWO #NetApp
