More Capabilities, Better Data Governance
Cloud Data Sense is a cloud offering that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven technology to help you understand data context and identify sensitive data across your storage systems. The systems can be working environments that you’ve added to the BlueXP Canvas and many types of data sources that Data Sense can access over your networks.
Discovery, mapping, and classification of unstructured and structured data with Cloud Data Sense
How does Cloud Data Sense work?
Cloud Data Sense deploys another layer of Artificial Intelligence alongside your BlueXP system and storage systems. It then scans the data on volumes, buckets, databases, and other storage accounts and indexes the data insights that are found. Data Sense leverages both artificial intelligence and natural language processing, as opposed to alternative solutions that are commonly built around regular expressions and pattern matching. Cloud Data Sense uses AI to provide contextual understanding of data for accurate detection and classification. It is driven by AI because it is designed for modern data types and scale. It also understands data context in order to provide strong, accurate, discovery and classification.
Key Benefits
Cloud Data Sense uses artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing (NLP), and machine learning (ML) to understand the content that it scans in order to extract entities and categorize the content accordingly. This allows Data Sense to provide the following areas of functionality.
Data Maintenance
Data Sense provides several tools that can help with your compliance efforts. You can use Data Sense to:
- Identify Personal Identifiable Information (PII).
- Identify a wide scope of sensitive personal information as required by GDPR, CCPA, PCI, and HIPAA privacy regulations.
- Respond to Data Subject Access Requests (DSAR) based on name or email address.
- Identify whether unique identifiers from your databases are found in files in other repositories – basically making your own list of “personal data” that is identified in Data Sense scans.
- Notify BlueXP users through email when files contain certain PII (you define this criteria using Policies) so you can decide on an action plan.
Strengthen Security
- Data Sense can identify data that is potentially at risk for being accessed for criminal purposes. You can use Data Sense to:
- Identify all the files and directories (shares and folders) with open permissions that are exposed to your entire organization or to the public.
- Identify sensitive data that resides outside of the initial, dedicated location.
- Comply with data retention policies.
- Use Policies to automatically notify security staff of new security issues so they can take action immediately.
- Add custom tags to files (for example, “needs to be moved”) and assign a BlueXP user so that person can own updates to the files.
- View and modify Azure Information Protection (AIP) labels in your files.
Optimize storage usage
Data Sense provides tools that can help with your storage total cost of ownership (TCO). You can use Data Sense to:
- Increase storage efficiency by identifying duplicate or non-business-related data. You can use this information to decide whether you want to move or delete certain files.
- Delete files that seem insecure or too risky to leave in your storage system, or that you have identified as duplicate. You can use Policies to automatically delete files that match certain criteria.
- Save storage costs by identifying inactive data that you can tier to less expensive object storage. Learn more about tiering.
Accelerate data migration
Data Sense can be used to scan your on-premises data before migrating it to the public or private cloud. You can use Data Sense to:
- View the size of data and whether any of the data contains sensitive information prior to moving it.
- Filter the source data (based on over 25 types of criteria) so you can move only the required files to the destination – unnecessary data is not moved.
- Automatically and continually move, copy, or sync only the required data into the cloud repository.

The Data Sense sandbox is a test environment that allows you to explore the features and functionality of the product without affecting your live production data. The sandbox includes a pre-configured, isolated environment that closely resembles a real-world deployment of Data Sense.
In this sandbox environment, you can experiment with different configuration options, test new features, and evaluate the product’s performance and functionality. This allows you to gain hands-on experience with Data Sense and make informed decisions about whether it is the right solution for their needs. The sandbox environment for NetApp Data Sense includes:
- Access to sample data: The sandbox includes access to sample data so you can test the product’s data analytics and reporting features.
- Tutorials and documentation: The sandbox includes tutorials and documentation to help you get started and learn the product’s features and functionality.
- Integration with other NetApp products: The sandbox environment is fully integrated with other NetApp products to provide a complete, end-to-end solution for cloud storage management and optimization.
- Technical support: Users have access to technical support from NetApp experts to help you troubleshoot any issues they encounter.
