What impact could enabling ARP/AI in ONTAP 9.16 have on database operations
Applies to
- ONTAP 9.16
- Autonomous Ransomware Protection with Artificial Intelligence (ARP/AI)
Answer
- There is no impact from enabling ARP/AI on ONTAP 9.16 running a database.
- ONTAP 9.16 introduces an enhanced AI-driven autonomous ransomware protection feature aimed at improving the accuracy of ransomware detection and response.
- This feature, once enabled, operates with the existing functionality of taking snapshots upon anomaly detection, which is similar to the behavior in previous versions such as ONTAP 9.12.
- The AI algorithms are designed to detect ransomware patterns without disrupting normal database activities.
- However, as with any system change, it is recommended to monitor the environment after enabling the feature to ensure that database operations continue as expected.
