The features are summarized as follows:
RAID-4, RAID-DP, and RAID-TEC data protection : Provides the flexibility to choose the level of
data protection required and helps improve performance and availability with built-in spare capacity
and by distributing data across all physical drives in the aggregate, sustaining to up to one (RAID-4),
two (RAID-DP), or three (RAID-TEC) concurrent drive failures.
All Flash Array (AFA) capability : Meets the demand for higher speed, lower latency storage and
provides higher IOPS and bandwidth with lower power usage and total cost of ownership than hybrid
or HDD-based solutions.
Thin provisioning: Optimizes efficiency by allocating storage space based on the minimum space
required by each application at any given time, so that applications consume only the space they are
actually using, not the total space that has been allocated to them, which allows customers to
purchase storage they need today and add more as application requirements grow.
Compression: Provides transparent inline and post-process data compression to reduce the amount
of storage that customers need to purchase and manage.
Compaction: enhances compression to further reduce the amount of storage that customers need to
purchase and manage.
Deduplication: Performs general-purpose deduplication for removal of redundant data to reduce the
amount of storage that customers need to purchase and manage.
Snapshots: Enables creation of read-only copies of data for backup, parallel processing, testing, and
development, and have the copies available almost immediately.
Encryption: Provides software-based encryption for data at rest for enhanced data security with the
traditional drives and embedded key management (requires the encryption-capable version of the
ONTAP software).
Balanced placement: Provides automated workload distribution across the cluster to help increase
utilization and performance.
Dynamic capacity expansion: Allows the capacity of a volume or aggregate to be expanded by
adding new physical drives.
Adaptive Quality of Service: Simplifies operations and maintains consistent workload performance
by defining QoS policies and automatically adjusting storage resources to respond to workload
changes.
SnapRestore: Enables quick recovery of data by reverting a local volume or file to its previous state
from a particular snapshot copy stored on the file system.
FlexClone: References snapshot metadata to create writable point-in-time copies of a volume.
FlexVol: Provides abstraction layer between the logical volume and its physical location in the
storage array.
FlexCache: Speeds up access to data and offloads traffic from heavily accessed volumes for read-
intensive workloads by placing frequently used data in cache locally or remotely (closer to the point
of client access) and serving the data to the clients directly from cache without accessing the data
source.

Lenovo ThinkSystem DM5000F Unified and DM5000F SAN Flash Storage Array 14
SnapMirror asynchronous replication: Provides storage system-based data replication between
the storage systems containing source (local) and destination (remote) volumes by using
asynchronous (at specified regular intervals) data transfers over IP communication links.
SyncMirror data protection: Adds extra level of data protection and availability by mirroring a pair of
RAID aggregates.
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) : For encryption enabled systems. The encryption keys for the
onboard key manager (OKM) are no longer stored in the boot device, but instead are stored in the
physical TPM for systems so equipped, offering greater security and protection. Moving to the TPM is
a nondisruptive process.
MetroCluster IP: Provides storage system-based clustering with online, real-time data mirroring
between the local and remote sites by using synchronous data transfers over IP communication links
to deliver continuous availability with zero RPO and near-zero RTO. All storage systems in a
MetroCluster IP configuration must be of the same model. New to ONTAP 9.11: MetroCluster with
Storage Virtual Machine Disaster Recovery (SVM-DR) can now use a third site for the SVM-DR
NVMe over TCP Protocol: Enables NVMe over TCP
Data Protection Optimized (DPO): Increases the amount of concurrent SnapMirror sessions per
node, as well as improving SnapMirror performance to the cluster.
SnapMirror Business Continuity (SMBC): Non-disruptive failover active-active cross site clusters.
Based on existing SnapMirror Synchronous Replication. Offers Zero data loss, zero downtime. You
do not have to failover the application. If there is a failure the application will continue to run and
there will be no need to restart.
SnapMirror synchronous replication: Provides storage system-based data replication between the
storage systems containing source (local) and destination (remote) volumes by using synchronous
(as soon as the data is written to the source volume)
FlexGroup: Enables a single volume to span across multiple clustered storage arrays to maximize
storage capacity and automate load distribution. New to ONTAP 9.11: FlexGroups can now be
created as SnapLock volumes.
SnapVault disk-based storage backup: Enables data stored on multiple systems to be backed up
to a central, secondary system quickly and efficiently as read-only snapshot copies.
SnapCenter: Provides application- and virtual machine-aware backup and restoration of data by
using the Snapshots technology and leverages the SnapMirror capabilities of storage systems to
provide onsite or offsite backup set mirroring for disaster recovery.
ONTAP S3: Expands the DM Series unified story and allows customers to manage, block, file, and
object data from one interface. Customers can now natively store data in S3 buckets onboard the DM
Series.
ONTAP S3 SnapMirror : Enables you to protect buckets in ONTAP S3 object stores using familiar
SnapMirror mirroring and backup functionality. Requires ONTAP 9.11 or later on both source and
destination clusters. Requires the Unified Premium Bundle.
SnapMirror Cloud: A backup and recovery technology designed for ONTAP users who want to
transition their data protection workflows to the cloud. SnapMirror Cloud is an extension to the family
of SnapMirror replication technologies. While SnapMirror is frequently used for ONTAP-to-ONTAP
backups, SnapMirror Cloud uses the same replication engine to transfer Snapshot copies for ONTAP
to S3-compliant object storage backups.
Multitenant Key Management (MTKM): Provides the ability for individual tenants or storage virtual
machines (SVMs) to maintain their own keys through KMIP for NVE. With multitenant external key
management, you can centralize your organization’s key management functions by department or
tenant while inherently confirming that keys are not stored near the assets. This approach decreases
the possibility of compromise.
Anti-ransomware: Uses workload analysis in NAS (NFS and SMB) environments to proactively
detect and warn about abnormal activity that might indicate a ransomware attack. When an attack is
suspected, anti-ransomware also creates new Snapshot backups, in addition to existing protection

Lenovo ThinkSystem DM5000F Unified and DM5000F SAN Flash Storage Array 15
from scheduled Snapshot copies. New to ONTAP 9.11: Optional multi-admin verification to approve
administration functions that could result in data loss.
FabricPool: FabricPool is a hybrid storage solution that uses an all flash (all SSD) aggregate as the
performance tier and an object store as the external capacity tier. Data in a FabricPool is stored in a
tier based on whether it is frequently accessed or not. Using a FabricPool helps you reduce storage
cost without compromising performance, efficiency, or protection.
SnapLock data protection: Creates Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) non-rewritable, non-erasable
data on hard disk drives to prevent files from being altered or deleted until a predetermined or default
retention date.
