NetApp offre encore plus d’efficacité aux utilisateurs de VMware® View 4.5
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - le 31
août 2010 - A l'occasion de VMworld 2010, NetApp
(NASDAQ: NTAP) annonce l'intégration de ses technologies de
stockage unifié à VMware View™ 4.5.
Cette intégration rend le stockage plus efficace et permet de
mieux gérer l'évolution du nombre de postes de travail
virtuels tout en améliorant les niveaux de performance pour
les utilisateurs finaux. Afin de le démontrer, NetApp et
VMware ont collaboré ensemble à la réalisation d'une
architecture de référence comprenant une infrastructure
de 50 000 postes virtuels qui s'adaptent facilement sans sacrifier
à la performance.

"As organizations continue on the path to IT as a service, they are
looking for scalable virtual desktop solutions at lower cost," said
Vittorio Viarengo, vice president, End-user Computing Products,
VMware. "Our partnership with NetApp helps our joint customers
improve data management while cost-effectively implementing a truly
scalable, high-performance VMware View 4.5 solution."
In a virtual desktop environment, each
virtual machine can consist of the same operating software and
application software, and can be tied to hundreds or thousands of
users' documents, spreadsheets, and presentations across multiple
desktops. As a result, storage capacity requirements for desktop
data can increase to tens or even hundreds of terabytes,
dramatically impacting performance while driving up the costs and
management of both the storage stack and the desktop virtualization
infrastructure. NetApp helps customers gain control and reduce the
cost of storage for VMware® View™ desktops to nearly
one-third the cost of alternative storage solutions.
Integrated with VMware View 4.5, NetApp
improves desktop efficiencies by extending critical operations such
as backup and recovery, deduplication, desktop cloning, and storage
system monitoring directly to desktop and server administrators.
NetApp also helps significantly improve performance with Flash
Cache, which allows read requests to be served out of high-speed,
solid-state cache that can be up to 100 times faster than average
high-speed disk drives.
NetApp and VMware recently teamed to build a
global 50,000-seat desktop virtualization reference architecture,
currently the largest documented virtual desktop deployment, to
provide customers with a joint architecture that is easy to
replicate and deploy. The flexible and dynamic solution supporting
a Windows® 7 environment was built using NetApp® FAS
storage, NetApp Virtual Storage Console, VMware View 4.5, and
VMware vSphere™. Cisco, Fujitsu, and Wyse also collaborated
on the project and provided the server, network, and thin-client
technology to deliver an end-to-end scalable solution. In addition
to getting an industry-leading partner ecosystem with a track
record in desktop virtualization, customers also benefit from a
proven architecture that easily scales from 5,000 to 50,000+ seats
with minimal impact to performance.
"Desktop
virtualization helps improve the efficiency, reliability, and
availability of resources, creating a more flexible infrastructure
with greater cost savings," said Patrick Rogers, vice president of
Solutions and Alliances at NetApp. "By seamlessly integrating
NetApp with VMware View™ 4.5, together we provide a complete,
secure, and easy-to-manage solution that enables organizations to
completely and cost-effectively virtualize their desktops without
compromises."
