Key Points:
- Evolve from virtualization to a dynamic, automated cloud environment with NetApp® and VMware® technologies.
- Gain faster time to market through on-demand, orchestrated provisioning of service offerings.
- Simplify backup and recovery for your cloud with intelligent, policy-based data protection.
- Enable end-to-end cloud management with VMware vCloud™ Director integration with NetApp storage.
Evolve your virtualized VMware and NetApp storage environment to the cloud. Deliver and procure cloud services for increased efficiency, business flexibility, and faster time to market.
NetApp and VMware, leaders in storage and data management and virtualization solutions, respectively, share a common vision to accelerate the path to the cloud through advanced virtualization, automation, and self-service. With tight integration of core technologies necessary for cloud computing, the joint solution enables you to:
- Securely isolate multiple tenants (applications, organizations, clients, users, and business units) on a shared IT infrastructure.
- Perform instant, space-efficient, point-in-time backups and restores within minutes.
- Automate provisioning and storage management of a full-stack cloud infrastructure.
- Empower end users with self-service provisioning of virtual IT resources (compute, network, and storage).
The VMware cloud infrastructure and management on NetApp solution combines innovative technologies and cloud best practices to enable enterprises and service providers to rapidly deploy VMware vCloud Director on a foundation designed to reduce cost and complexity. The solution is tightly integrated with the VMware vCenter™ and VMware vCloud Director management platforms to automatically provision virtual data centers (vDCs) and underlying VMware vSphere™ resources from a single console. You can also dynamically expand NetApp storage resources for vDCs and vApps from within VMware vCenter. Intelligent policy-based provisioning means that vCloud administrators can provision the right type of resources to meet stringent service-level agreements (SLAs) and enables predictable showback or chargeback.
The solution helps you keep your services always available with built-in data protection and nonstop operations that enable you to deliver industry-leading SLAs. Our VMware vCloud Director object-aware interface provides space-efficient and instant snapshot backups and completes restores in minutes.
