Storage Efficiency without Compromise
NetApp enables you to achieve maximum storage utilisation, reduce power, cooling and space needs, and boost performance - for the lowest possible Total Cost of Ownership
NetApp's seven core hardware and software technologies deliver efficiency results that are unmatched in the storage industry, and include SATA drives and double-parity RAID, deduplication, thin provisioning, snapshots, thin replication and virtual copies.
These efficiencies apply across all storage systems - not just NetApp systems - so you can even get more out of storage you already own, such as EMC and HP systems. Plus, the technologies can have a compounding effect - the more you use, the more you can save. With NetApp, you gain all these efficiencies without compromising performance. In fact, with NetApp you can reduce your costs and increase productivity.
STORE MORE DATA
NetApp systems combine SATA drives with double-parity RAID and intelligent caching so you can take advantage of low-cost, high-capacity disk drives without compromising resiliency or performance.
NetApp's unified architecture brings storage efficiency to all system configurations - for example, you can combine SATA and Fibre Channel, or SAN and NAS on a single system to meet changing technical requirements.
PROVISION STORAGE FASTER AND EASIER
With thin provisioning technology, you no longer have to guess how much storage to allocate to each individual application. Applications can share a common pool of storage so you can easily accommodate growth and maximise utilisation.
GAIN THE BENEFITS OF SNAPSHOTS
NetApp is the leader in storage efficient Snapshot technology, which uses minimal storage and has no performance impact so you can protect important data continually. You get NetApp Snapshot copies in less than a second by creating a second set of data pointers, requiring no additional capacity.
With NetApp, you can make up to 255 Snapshot copies per volume, instantly. Many storage solutions are limited to far fewer snapshot copies and require the equivalent capacity of a full copy of the volume in order to create snapshots.
SLASH CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS
NetApp deduplication helps you eliminate duplicate data to reclaim capacity across all tiers - primary, backup and archival. In fact, NetApp guarantee that you will use 50% less storage with NetApp compared to a baseline of traditional storage.
MAXIMISE YOUR DATA PROTECTION EFFICIENCY
NetApp thin replication technology enables data copies that are required for protection to be created quickly and efficiently. Once the initial baseline data is transferred, only incremental block changes are transferred, using minimal LAN/WAN bandwidth. The result is high performance and space efficiency when making data copies for disaster recovery and backup/recovery.
Combining deduplication and thin replication reduces storage requirements even more. NetApp customers report utilisation rates approaching and even exceeding 100%.
MAKE VIRTUAL VOLUME COPIES WITH NEAR-ZERO CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS
With NetApp FlexClone, instead of having to provision storage capacity to create copies of production data for development and testing, you can quickly make virtual copies with near-zero incremental capacity requirements.
