Varonis is pulling the plug on on-prem. ProLion isn’t.

ProLion for Lenovo ONTAP
Industries
Healthcare

Same ONTAP. Same integration.

Lenovo-branded ONTAP systems connect exactly as NetApp’s do: ProLion registers as an external FPolicy engine, nothing is installed on the controller, and the data path does not change.

Connected through FPolicy, as an external engine

How it connects.

Register a system and the platform discovers its topology. Monitoring runs through the file system’s own interface, by way of lightweight collectors in each data center, and analysis scans run on the schedule you set. Nothing is installed on endpoints, and everything stays on your own hardware, including at sites with no outbound connection.

Connection
Native FPolicy, synchronous or asynchronous
ProLion registers as an external engine — nothing is installed on the controller
Supported
Protocols
SMB and NFS shares across SVMs
One ruleset covers every SVM in the landscape
Supported
Parity
Identical to NetApp ONTAP
Same connector, same ruleset, same console — the badge on the front is the difference
Supported
Recovery
Single-file restore straight from ONTAP snapshots
The snapshots the cluster is already taking
Supported

What you get on Lenovo ONTAP.

Every file operation
Who opened, changed, renamed or deleted which file, with user, path and timestamp — recorded as FPolicy reports it.
Capacity and hot/cold reporting
Per volume and per share, on a schedule, delivered automatically.
Permission insight
Folder permissions by level, broken inheritance and share access, across every SVM.
Containment in seconds
The account behind an encryption run is cut off from the SVM. Everyone else keeps working.
Restore scoped to the damage
Single files or everything one blocked account changed, out of existing ONTAP snapshots.
ClusterLion for MetroCluster
Automatic, audited switchover between sites, decided outside the cluster.

A mixed estate is still one estate.

Most Lenovo ONTAP sites have NetApp somewhere too, and usually a Windows file server nobody mentions. They all land in one landscape tree, under one ruleset and one audit trail, so a question about a share does not start with working out whose badge is on the box.

  • NetApp ONTAP
    — the same connector, side by side
  • ClusterLion
    — automatic, audited failover for MetroCluster
  • One console
    — Lenovo, NetApp, Dell and Windows in one tree
