Manage your unstructured data with NetApp’s Virtual File Manager™ to reduce costs, simplify administration, and consolidate and migrate your vital files across your organization without disruption.
Explosive growth in storage pressures your administrators to determine how much storage is available and how to balance loads, replicate data, and prepare for a disaster. Our Virtual File Manager – Enterprise Edition (VFM® - EE) can help your administrators solve these challenges and help reduce your cost of file services.
With VFM - EE, your administrators can unify, manage, and optimize distributed file servers without affecting users. Administrators can consolidate storage either on your existing systems or by using our file serving solutions to create a single view across your enterprise.
You can distribute and balance space across a pool of storage to get location-independent, uninterrupted access to your files in the event of a disaster, as well as create storage tiers to match storage policies with your business priorities. This allows you to reduce costs by putting less-critical data on less-expensive storage.
