NetApp has been a leader in supporting Ethernet storage, first as a NAS pioneer and then as an early proponent of iSCSI. Thousands of our customers have deployed Ethernet storage to help simplify data management, protect investments, and reduce total cost of ownership.

With a unified, multiprotocol architecture, our storage solutions take advantage of the benefits of Ethernet and work as a "unification engine" supporting NFS and CIFS, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) in the same system, as well as leveraging traditional Fibre Channel storage investments. We offer a wide range of solutions to deliver the consolidation and unification you need to maximize efficiency.

NetApp NAS
Solve your data management challenges of scalability, availability, and consolidating your existing Windows®, Linux®, and UNIX® file servers with our network-attached storage (NAS) solutions. Our NAS systems will keep up with the growing needs of your business with our portfolio of solutions for flexible provisioning, reliable backup, archiving, business continuity, and virtualization. Our NAS systems are the storage solution of choice for a variety of workloads: Windows and UNIX home directories and user file storage, database and business applications such as Oracle® and SAP®, and server and desktop virtualization such as VMware® and Citrix Xen. Our solutions support multiple file access protocols such as CIFS and NFS, so you can consolidate and share files across your Windows, UNIX, and Linux environments.

NetApp iSCSI
If you need a high-performing and highly reliable SAN now, Fibre Channel isn't your only option. NetApp's robust iSCSI storage, along with our powerful data management software, gives you the best of both worlds: performance plus the familiar IP protocol. Today, more than 25,000 of our customers rely on NetApp® iSCSI solutions. They enjoy higher data availability, simpler data management, and better storage utilization. You can too with one of our proven iSCSI solutions. We offer a range of proven iSCSI solutions to meet the needs of organizations from midsize companies to large data centers.

NetApp Fibre Channel over Ethernet
Fibre Channel over Ethernet provides you with increased flexibility for your high-performance, data availability, and data management needs. NetApp is an active participant in the development and marketing of the FCoE standard and was the first vendor to ship native FCoE storage systems. FCoE is a logical progression of our unified storage approach of offering Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and NAS in our enterprise systems and provides an evolutionary path for Fibre Channel SAN customers to migrate over time. FCoE extends Fibre Channel into the Ethernet environment, combining two leading technologies, the Fibre Channel protocol and Ethernet. It provides more options to end users for SAN connectivity and networking.
