Sydney, Australia - June 21, 2012 - NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP), in collaboration with its partners, has introduced a transformative new way for customers to make agile IT a reality. Agile data infrastructure enables the removal of the complexity, cost, and inefficiencies of decade-old IT approaches to better respond to changing business requirements today and in the future.

Agile data infrastructure builds on the recent release of NetApp's latest Data ONTAP® software, the industry's largest installed storage operating system, as well as years of storage efficiency and innovation. With greater productivity andnondisruptive operations, agile data infrastructure helps businesses grow without limits.

Peter O'Connor, vice president and managing director, NetApp Australia and New Zealand, said, "Agility is becoming ever more central to business success, and the increasing volume of data and speed of business require the CIO to make critical decisions about IT infrastructure to cope with a dynamic business environment. Together with our partners, NetApp is at the forefront of enabling IT transformation with Data ONTAP, which now combines the richest and most sophisticated data management platform with the architectural capabilities of clustering."

Agile data infrastructure is a single infrastructure that evolves as the business grows and service levels change over time. By combining rich data management with the architectural advantages of clustering, customers can make IT intelligent, immortal, and infinite.

• Intelligent Data Management: Data storage can be intelligent and self-aware to deliver an immediate response to rapidly changing business requirements.
• Immortal Operations: Data needs a lifespan stretching beyond the individual components of the infrastructure to deliver nondisruptive operations and maintain data accessibility 24/7.
• Infinite Scalability: Customers can grow their business knowing their storage performance, capacity, and operational scalability will keep pace indefinitely, keeping investments and capabilities on track with their business.
