Realize the full potential of your Microsoft Private Cloud infrastructure with a NetApp storage solution that optimizes efficiencies for storage similar to what Windows Server® 2008 R2 Hyper-V™ does for servers.
NetApp, a member of the Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track program, complements Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V by virtualizing the underlying storage environment, consolidating hardware, and enabling you to reduce storage, power, cooling, and floor space needs by 50% or more. This highly efficient solution also features nearly instant low-overhead storage cloning to slash provisioning times. It also provides streamlined automated backup, restore, and disaster recovery.
Your organization can leverage NetApp storage and data management software through integration with Microsoft System Center 2012 to simplify the management of your private cloud. This includes the enterprise applications that run within it such as Exchange Server®, SQL Server®, SharePoint Server®, and Citrix XenDesktop. The combination of System Center Orchestrator with sample workflows, Orchestrator Integration Packs, and Windows® PowerShell™ scripts from NetApp enables improved productivity and reduced risk through self-service provisioning. Moreover, you can monitor storage utilization, performance, and system health with System Center Operations Manager and NetApp OnCommand™ Plug-in for Microsoft software to increase the overall predictability of your private cloud.
