Virtualisation

Storage virtualisation provides the ability to represent data independently of where and how it is physically stored, thus enabling increased asset utilisation, faster application recovery and reduced space, power and cooling requirements. However, the extent to which this technology is able to deliver such benefits will depend upon the completeness of the storage virtualisation solution and how well it is integrated into the core data management architecture.

What does NetApp deliver?

NetApp maximise the return on the virtualisation promise of reducing overall costs associated with data center operations.

How does NetApp deliver this?

By eliminating common challenges with storage and data protection encountered with server virtualisation. NetApp’s unique approach integrates the storage solution with server virtualisation applications to deliver all of the following under one architecture:

Instantaneous backup and recovery
Maximised storage utilisation through deduplication
Automation of the most labor intensive data management tasks
The ability to provision storage as fast as VMs.

What does this mean to customers?

Customers can:

Save up to 50% on storage power, cooling and space, and lower overall data center costs
Protect data and achieve compliance with SLAs
Bring products, services and projects to market faster
Continue to scale virtualised environment without traditional storage constraints or additional storage investment.
