NetApp Storage Virtualization

Enabling the dynamic enterprise environment

The momentum in data center virtualization has increased the focus on technologies which contribute to more effective application provisioning, business continuity, and resource consolidation. Storage virtualization provides the ability to represent data independently of where and how it is physically stored, thus enabling increased asset utilization, faster application recovery and reduced space, power and cooling requirements. However, the extent to which this technology is able to deliver such benefits will depend upon the completeness of the storage virtualization solution and how well it is integrated into the core data management architecture.

The Solution
NetApp's Data ONTAP software environment incorporates virtualization technology that simplifies enterprise data management while dramatically reducing TCO. Since Data ONTAP enables a logical presentation of data that is not constrained by physical storage infrastructure, attention can be focused on critical business applications instead of hardware complexity. NetApp provides virtualization capabilities at every level of the storage hierarchy and this capability is built into all NetApp storage platforms.
