All IT organizations understand the downside of downtime. Users expect availability and consistent performance levels 24/7, even in the face of ever-increasing volumes of data. As a result, backup time windows are shrinking, while the amount of data to be backed up is increasing.

NetApp® ONTAP® software has various types of messages for all the storage actions and operations it performs (for example, callhome.vol.space.crit, sm.syncmirror.out.of.sync). There are also predefined filters (for example, default-trap-events, important-events) that can alert you about severe events.

My team automated the processes to onboard applications onto the platform as well as the continuous integration, continuous deployment (CI/CD) process to rapidly move application changes to production. The onboarding process starts when a development team accesses the self-service catalog (on ServiceNow) to identify the type of application being onboarded, and to make selections around the type of application stack and environment sizing requirements of their application. This begins an automated workflow that updates the CMDB—our single source of truth—so that we don’t lose track of any assets that get created during the onboarding process.

That user story forms the foundation of our vision for the newest feature of the NetApp® E-Series Performance Analyzer: plug-ins. If you have ever played PC games, you might be familiar with the concept of a mod. Mods are community-developed content that extends the original functionality of a game. Mods can be as simple as new character skins, or they can create entirely new game modes. A key takeaway is that players are able to build upon core functionality to add features that the original developers might not have envisioned.
