As a Microsoft Gold Certified Data Platform
Partner and a SQL Server "AlwaysOn" Technology Partner, we provide
a full range of storage solutions that have been certified with
Microsoft SQL Server. Our agile data infrastructure supports
thousands of SQL Server implementations for a variety of OLAP, DSS,
and RDBMS applications.
By consolidating SQL Server data onto a
NetApp agile data infrastructure, you have the flexibility of an
iSCSI, Fibre Channel, and FCoE SAN as well as an SMB (CIFS)
infrastructure. You can use thin provisioning to eliminate pools of
unused storage and increase storage utilization, achieve
intelligent data management, and reduce administrative overhead. In
addition, you can enable cloud environments to achieve the high
efficiency and cost savings that multi-tenancy can provide.
Consolidating your Microsoft SQL Server
databases with NetApp helps you:
- Reduce costs and increase storage efficiency through
deduplication to eliminate pools of unused storage.
- Automatically move online backups to secondary storage and then
deduplicate the archived backups to further reduce storage
costs.
- Easily scale storage capacity without taking SQL Server
databases or storage systems offline.
- Create database clones with virtually no storage
footprint.
- Enable faster recovery in the event of application errors.
- Provide more storage options and new ways to cut expenses with
SQL Server 2012 on simple, lower-cost network-attached
storage.
- Improve DBA productivity with the streamlined, federated
backup, recovery, and cloning capabilities of SnapManager® for
Microsoft SQL Server
