ABSTRACT:
When it comes to building a virtual infrastructure, virtualizing your servers is only half of the job. NetApp storage systems virtualize your storage in the same way VMware virtualizes your servers, with resource pools providing performance and capacity, deduplication to share disk space between multiple VMs, and NetApp FlexShare to give priority to storage used by certain VMs to ensure quality of service (QOS). Backup and off-site replication based on Snapshot alleviate the burden of traditional backup while ensuring the quickest possible recovery time.
NetApp lets you increase the utilization of your hardware so that you get more from each dollar you spend, while providing unsurpassed data protection and data management for your entire VMware environment.
