As a network data server, the function of the PowerVault 720N, 740N, or 760N filer is to move data over the network in response to a client request. The filer uses

Data ONTAP™ operating system software to do so. The data is stored on storage disks that reside in PowerVault 700N storage systems connected to the filer. In addi- tion, a SCSI tape backup device is recommended for regular backups to protect your data. Therefore, a complete system consists of a filer connected to one or more PowerVault 700N storage systems, plus an optional (but recommended) tape backup device.
