NetApp Microsoft SQL Server Consolidation

Consolidate Microsoft SQL Server databases onto NetApp storage solutions to simplify data management and reduce costs.

As a Microsoft® Gold Certified Data Platform Partner and SQL Server "AlwaysOn" Technology Partner, NetApp supports thousands of SQL Server implementations for OLAP, DSS, and RDBMS applications with Microsoft-certified solutions.

Consolidating SQL Server data onto NetApp® storage gives you the flexibility of an iSCSI, Fibre Channel, or FCoE SAN and an SMB (CIFS) infrastructure. Thin provisioning can increase storage utilization, simplify data management, and improve IT efficiency. Enabling cloud environments can achieve the high efficiency and cost savings of multi-tenancy.

NetApp helps you:

  • Reduce costs and increase storage efficiency through deduplication.
  • Reduce storage costs by implementing automatic migration and deduplication of backups.
  • Scale storage capacity without taking SQL Server offline.
  • Create database clones using almost no storage space.
  • Enable faster recovery following application errors.
  • Put SQL Server 2012 on simple, lower-cost NAS.
  • Improve IT efficiency through federated backup, recovery, and cloning with SnapManager® software.
