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

ProLion for NetApp ONTAP

FPolicy, done properly.

No agent on the filer and no change to the data path. ProLion registers as an external FPolicy engine and sees every file operation as it happens.

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.

What you get on 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.

Also from ProLion for ONTAP.

ONTAP is where ProLion started, and it is the platform with the longest list of neighbours on it.

  • ClusterLion
    — automatic, audited failover for MetroCluster
  • Capacity and hot/cold reporting
    — per volume and share
  • Permission insight
    — including broken inheritance across SVMs
  • Lenovo ONTAP
    — the same integration, on its own page

Four fields, and somebody who knows ONTAP, PowerScale and what FPolicy does. Not a qualification call.
