In environments without outbound internet access, cloud-based monitoring and analytics tools cannot be used.
The customer requires alocally deployed solutionthat can perform health monitoring, troubleshooting, and capacity reporting, including the ability to generatecustom Excel reports.
Active IQ Unified Manager (AIQUM)is designed specifically for this use case. It is installed on a local server within the customer's environment and connects directly to ONTAP clusters. AIQUM provides performance monitoring, capacity analysis, event management, and historical reporting without requiring external connectivity. It also supports exporting reports in formats suitable for Excel-based analysis.
Active IQ Digital Advisor and Cloud Insights both rely on outbound connectivity to NetApp cloud services, which is not available in this isolated data center. ONTAP System Manager provides real-time management and basic monitoring but lacks the advanced reporting, historical trending, and Excel export capabilities required by the customer.
Therefore,Active IQ Unified Manageris the only tool that satisfies all stated requirements.
