Meeting record compliance requirements using SnapLock with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP

This article discusses how to use SnapLock with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP to meet SEC compliance requirements for immutable storage of electronic records.

Specifically, the article covers:

• How SnapLock helps meet key compliance requirements like immutable storage, record integrity verification, audit logging, redundancy, and immediate record access.
• Two architecture options: a stand-alone architecture using just FSx for ONTAP, and a backing storage architecture where SnapLock volumes are used by a document management application.
• How the stand-alone and backing storage architectures address each compliance requirement in different ways.
• Guidance on choosing between the two architecture approaches based on your needs.
• Considerations for additional features like legal hold, event-based retention, and hybrid on-prem/cloud deployments.
