With intelligent storage it is possible to affordably protect more data while delivering higher levels of application availability with NetApp's network-efficient and storage-efficient disaster recovery solution. Such solutions allow businesses to quickly adapt to unexpected storage demands with real-time scalability and the flexibility to support any future SAN or NAS projects
Data growth is inevitable. Using NetApp's 7 core storage efficiency features, NetApp products are designed to reach unrivaled levels of efficiency. Users can achieve three key benefits through storage efficiency:
> Store maximum amount of data for lowest possible cost
> Retain data on disk for longer periods of time
> Reduce data centre power, cooling and space
"Storage Efficiency without Compromise" is NetApp's promise: They will reduce your storage burden while improving manageability and performance.
Some of the key features of the NetApp storage virtualisation solution include:
> NetApp FlexVolTM technology enables IT organisations to create multiple flexible volumes on a large pool of disks and aggregate I/O across all physical disks on NFS, iSCSI or Fibre Channel. Users can dynamically allocate storage and add storage capacity as needed without downtime.
> NetApp FlexClone® provides instant clones of VMs without impacting server resources and requiring additional storage capacity.
> NetApp SnapshotTM allows VMware users to make fast and space-efficient backup copies of active data with negligible performance and storage overhead.
> NetApp SnapMirror® Software protects data and accelerates recovery, by providing a simple, efficient way to replicate data between systems in multiple locations using multi-transport (IP and FC) and frequency choice (sync, semi-sync, and a-sync) options while only transferring changed blocks.
