Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

One is the standard license and advanced license.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

The standard license is $0.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

$0, in other words, it's free and does not require any license key.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

Customer just has to download the product and use it.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

By default, the standard license is burnt into the product and, you know, it's just available.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

However, with that standard license, customer gets, you know, predefined service definitions and automatic provisioning, and then, and also, you know, be able to do, remember, Evan talked about adaptive cures, even that's also shipped with the standard license in the product.

Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

However, certain customers, they do want to customize the service level, and they would like to have a stronger conformance checking.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

So these capabilities, the customization and then conformance checking for their workloads, these require advanced licenses.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

And advanced license is licensed by capacity, raw capacity.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

So we price it by dollar per terabyte.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

So customer can, based on their requirement, they can try out the standard license and they like it and they would like to extend it.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

They can always reach out to NetApp sales and SE team and go for an advanced license.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

As I said, you know, we've licensed it by dollar per terabyte based on draw capacity.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

Sure.

I think Justin and, you know, if you have been to Insight last year, and if you have seen the center stage demo where you must have seen, you know, they're using Snap Center, Backup to Cloud, and Restore.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

And if you look at it, you know, they use SAP Center UI to do this, but behind the scenes is actually SLM is the one who made that happen.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

You know, SLM provides, as Amit was saying, protection services there, and it enables a seamless data movement from FaaS system to AltaWarp to AWS S3 buckets and restoring it back.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

All those things, that seamless data movement is done by SLM.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

So it exposes simple, easy-to-use APIs, and then Snap Center invokes those APIs and be able to inject a file or a snapshot into AWS and restore it back.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 81 โ€“ NetApp Service Level Manager

So, in fact, if you look at it, right, it seamlessly blends into our data fabric vision.
