    Data Center Archiving and Replication in ONTAP Deployment

    5.0
    Mar 25, 2026
    Greater experience, I installed and configured it in 4 different data centers to archive data and replicate it for backup and disaster recovery. With ONTAP, you can manage multiple FAS so you can replicate or move your data and volumes, and configure and scale your environment. If you configure it well you have some strong features like live migration and hot maintenance.
