The Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative (FDCCI) addresses decades of redundant IT investments that have resulted in costly & inefficient IT infrastructure. This paper highlights NetApp's data center consolidation and cloud computing solutions and how they deliver significant cost, energy and performance benefits.

The Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track Program (previously called Microsoft Hyper-V Cloud Fast Track Program) is a joint effort between Microsoft and its partner original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) like Cisco to help organizations quickly develop and implement private clouds while reducing both the cost and the risk. It provides a reference architecture that combines Microsoft software, consolidated guidance, and validated configurations with NetApp and Cisco partner technology, such as computing power, network and storage architectures, and value-added software components. Each Microsoft Cloud Fast Track solution is an integrated solution from Microsoft and its OEM partner. This version of the document augments the Microsoft-specific document and includes a description of the full solution. It provides an overview of NetApp, Cisco, and Microsoft guiding principles and design criteria for this solution and describes how this Hyper-V technology cloud solution conforms to these principles.

The market for cloud-based data protection presents an opportunity for you to quickly grow revenue and increase profitability with the right supporting infrastructure. The data protection solution from Asigra and NetApp gives you the ability to minimize capital expenditure and operating costs per customer while providing an excellent customer experience. This paper describes the data protection as a service joint solution and shows how we can work together to help you increase your revenue for higher profitability.

This white paper is one in a series about the NetApp® private cloud solution. For more information about NetApp overall private cloud architecture, see RA-0008: Microsoft Private Clouds and NetApp Reference Architecture.As cloud-style architecture is becoming increasingly common, IT organizations are seeking to offer infrastructure as a service (IaaS) within their organizations. This document provides a blueprint for private IaaS implementations on the Microsoft® Hyper-V™ and System Center platform. The intended audience for this document is customer and partner architects seeking to design private cloud implementations on NetApp platform.

With a shared IT infrastructure built on a NetApp storage foundation, Be The Match is leveraging technology to give patients a second chance at life. The efficiency and flexibility of their NetApp infrastructure allows them to process more data faster, which leads to more transplants and saves more lives. Their NetApp based private cloud enables them to share lifesaving resources and capabilities with partner affiliates around the world.

NetApp unified storage can provide enhanced storage performance, storage efficiency, and storage manageability for VDI deployments on Microsoft® Windows® Server 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V™.

Desktop virtualization is a hot topic throughout the virtualization industry. Organizations view desktop virtualization as a way to control costs and use limited resources to manage large-scale desktop infrastructures while increasing security and deployment efficiency. NetApp, VMware, Cisco, Fujitsu, and Wyse joined forces to create an architectural design for a 50,000-seat VMware® View™ architecture. This project demonstrates the most reliable methods for deploying a scalable and easily expandable environment from 5,000 to 50,000 seats in an efficient manner.
