What are the two licensing options available for Cloud Volumes ONTAP systems?

The licensing options available for Cloud Volumes ONTAP systems are designed to offer flexibility for users depending on their needs and usage patterns. "Pay as you go" provides a cost-effective solution for users who may not need continuous access to the service, allowing them to pay only for what they consume. This option is particularly advantageous for businesses with variable workloads or those just starting with cloud storage.

The "bring your own license" (BYOL) model allows customers to leverage existing licenses they have purchased for on-premises systems in the cloud. This can result in cost savings for organizations that already have a substantial investment in NetApp products and prefer to maximize their existing licensing agreements.

These two options cater to different types of users—those looking for a scalable pay-per-use model and those who want to utilize their current licenses in a cloud environment. This flexibility is a key benefit of Cloud Volumes ONTAP, allowing organizations to optimize costs while maintaining the ability to scale their storage solutions as needed.
