NetApp’s Keystone storage-as-a-service includes NetApp file, block and object storage on a subscription basis. The assets are owned by NetApp, and managed either by the customer or a NetApp partner. Data protection storage services are included in the Keystone base service. Keystone also includes an ability to integrate public cloud storage resources (AWS, Azure, GCP) to off-load infrequently accessed data, permanently move workloads, or use the cloud for burst, DR or backup.
Keystone offers storage services across performance tiers of NetApp’s portfolio of products. Because NetApp delivers to performance service level objectives (SLOs) established within the Keystone contract, NetApp reserves the right to supply the storage platform to best deliver the required performance outcomes. That means customers do not select a specific NetApp storage system.
Performance tiers offer capacity at predefined service levels. Each service level is defined by IOPS per storage capacity (TiB) used. Customers can choose from five performance tiers for file and block storage, and an object storage tier.
