NetApp Storage for VMware Server Virtualization

Complement your VMware environment with scalable, secure storage

An efficient data center based on VMware virtualization can boost IT efficiency, optimize your IT investments, and provide a competitive advantage. NetApp data storage solutions complement VMware benefits, including VMware's vSphere cloud computing foundation.

• Achieve the same cost-effective DR for storage as with virtual servers
• Provision storage and servers together to accelerate time to deployment
• Scale your virtualized environment without traditional storage constraints

Get the most out of your environment

NetApp lets you turn your virtualized data center into a pool of server, network, and storage resources. Manage, monitor, and provision storage in your vSphere environments through the vCenter Server console using NetApp plug-ins.

NetApp data storage for vSphere environments delivers:

• Instantaneous backup and recovery
• Automation of labor-intensive data management tasks
• The ability to provision storage as fast as VMs
• Data deduplication across primary, backup, DR, and archival storage

Use NetApp clustered Data ONTAP 8.0 to achieve one unified storage architecture and continuous business operations.
