Our Ethernet-based storage systems, through their unified, multiprotocol architecture, have delivered consolidation and unification to our customers for over a dozen years. We have been a leader supporting Ethernet storage, first as a NAS pioneer and then as an early proponent of iSCSI. Thousands of our customers have deployed Ethernet storage that simplifies data management, protects investments, and reduces total cost of ownership.

You need a storage solution that takes advantage of the benefits of Ethernet, and works as a "unification engine," supporting NFS and CIFS, iSCSI and Fibre Channel over Ethernet in the same system, as well as continues to leverage traditional Fibre Channel storage investments.

NetApp NAS
Solve your data management challenges of scalability, availability, and consolidation of 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, archival, business continuity, and virtualization. Our NAS systems have become the storage solution of choice for a variety of workloads: Windows and UNIX home directories and user file storage, database and enterprise applications like Oracle® and SAP®, and server and desktop virtualization like 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 15,000 of our customers rely on NetApp® iSCSI solutions. They're enjoying 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 (FCoE) provides you with increased flexibility for your high- performance, data-availability, and data-management needs. NetApp has been an active participant in the development and marketing of the Fibre Channel over Ethernet standard. 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, to provide more options to end users for SAN connectivity and networking.
