NetApp Virtualisation Solutions
The ability to represent data independently of where and how it's physically stored is built into our storage platforms. This lets you optimise storage and support your server virtualisation solution.
If you're virtualising your server environment to increase utilisation and improve management, you need to think about storage virtualisation, too. If you don't have storage and data management strategy to support your efforts, you might end up transferring costs and complexity from your servers to your storage environment.
NetApp's storage solutions help you get what you expect out of virtualisation. Our Data ONTAP® operating system offers virtualisation at every level of the storage hierarchy, in all of our platforms. Thin provisioning and deduplication can help you get the most out of your storage, and make changes fast, whenever your needs change.
Data ONTAP enables a logical presentation of data, unconstrained by physical storage infrastructure. You get to focus on your business applications, not on your hardware.
