Abstract NetApp SnapMirror is a native data replication technology in the ONTAP storage operating system, engineered to support enterprise-grade data protection and disaster recovery strategies. This paper provides an in-depth examination of SnapMirror’s functionality and capabilities from an enterprise architecture perspective. We discuss SnapMirror’s flexible architecture that allows replication across heterogeneous environments (on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployments) and its integration with ONTAP’s snapshot mechanisms to deliver efficient point-in-time copies of data. We also analyze the performance features of SnapMirror, including incremental block-level transfers, network optimizations, and scaling considerations that enable high throughput with minimal impact on primary workloads. Furthermore, SnapMirror’s role in disaster recovery is explored, highlighting how it facilitates rapid failover, failback, and consistent recovery across sites. Finally, we examine SnapMirror’s cloud integration capabilities, demonstrating how it extends data replication to public and private cloud platforms. The insights presented aim to guide enterprise architects in leveraging SnapMirror as a versatile component of a robust data protection and cloud data management strategy
