- NetAPP primary storage

NetApp® primary storage enables you to unify and streamline your infrastructure by consolidating storage across many servers and applications over any storage fabric.

NetApp fabric-attached storage (FAS) systems integrate easily into complex enterprise environments and provide shared access to UNIX®, Windows®, Linux, and Web data while simultaneously supporting Fibre Channel SAN, IP SAN (iSCSI), and NAS. These high performance systems have a proven ability to continuously serve data at higher than 99.99% availability, and can scale from 50GB to many terabytes using Serial ATA and/or Fibre Channel disk drives.

The NetApp FAS product line includes:

FAS6000 Series

  • Scale to more than 1,100 terabytes of raw storage capacity.
  • Consolidate hundreds of your enterprise-wide applications.
  • Prioritize critical workloads for fast response.
  • Back up application data in seconds; recover in just minutes using our SnapshotT and SnapManager® software.

FAS3100 Series

  • Scale to more than 1,100 terabytes of raw storage capacity.
  • Consolidate hundreds of your enterprise-wide applications.
  • Prioritize critical workloads for fast response.
  • Back up application data in seconds; recover in just minutes using our SnapshotT and SnapManager® software.

FAS3000 Series

  • Scale to more than 500 terabytes of raw storage capacity.
  • Save on total cost of ownership through higher storage utilization and simpler administration.
  • Back up application data in seconds; recover in just minutes.
  • Easily provision, expand, and upgrade to meet your changing business needs.

  • Slash your backup and restore times by half.
  • Simplify management through consolidation of virtualized server environments.

FAS200 Series

  • Conserve valuable data center space with the FAS200's compact design.
  • Grow to up to 16TB of mission-critical applications and data.
  • Integrate storage and processing into a single unit.
  • Use the system's flexibility for your distributed offices or data centers
 
- Near-line storage
The NetApp® NearStore® system bridges the gap between primary storage and offline storage by providing much faster data access than offline storage at a cost much lower than primary storage. This makes NearStore ideal for data protection and retention applications such as disk-to-disk backup, disaster recovery, archival, compliant retention, and content storage.
 
- Vertualization solutions
Many enterprises have made significant investments in multiple storage architectures to support a variety of different application requirements. This approach often results in an inefficient, underutilized storage environment that can be difficult to manage and costly to scale.

Companies with extensive SANs are looking for ways to broaden the use of their current infrastructures and achieve a greater ROI by provisioning SAN capacity for new business solutions. NetApp® V-Series is a network-based solution that virtualizes tiered, heterogeneous storage arrays enabling unified block (FCP and iSCSI) and file (NAS) access to data stored in Fibre Channel SAN storage arrays.
 
- Content delivery solutions

The NetApp® NetCache® product line is a scalable suite of Web delivery and security appliances. NetCache appliances, which currently power some of the world's largest enterprises and telecommunications networks, are deployed across the entire network, from the primary data center to remote points of presence (POPs) and local offices worldwide. For more information, see the NetCache datasheet (PDF).

NetCache appliances address three major customer challenges: Internet security. NetCache appliances form the foundation of the NetApp Internet access and security (IAS) solution, which enables Internet security capabilities, including proxy, caching, access control, content filtering, Web antivirus, SSL scanning, IM and P2P blocking, antispam, and reporting.

Web content and application acceleration. NetCache appliances reduce delays, bandwidth usage, and server load to improve delivery of Web content and Web-based applications such as ERP and CRM systems.

Video delivery. NetCache appliances improve delivery quality of online training, executive video broadcasts, and large-scale video-on-demand services.

The ability to support multiple applications on a single platform enable you to scale your network more quickly, with greater manageability.

 
- NearStore virtual tape library

The NetApp® NearStore® virtual tape library (VTL) is a disk-to-disk backup appliance that appears like a tape library to a backup software application but provides the superior speed and reliability of disk technologies. The NearStore VTL reduces management costs and dramatically improves backup and recovery performance while leveraging existing investments in infrastructure, backup software and processes.

The NearStore VTL can be used to back up any open system storage environment-including those of EMC, Hitachi, HP, and IBM-and is certified for use with leading enterprise backup software, including software from BakBone, CA, CommVault, HP, Legato, Symantec, Syncsort, and Tivoli.

Available in capacities from 4.5TB to 168TB, the NearStore VTL provides a simple, nondisruptive solution that improves the backup process for virtually any data center environment.

 
- MetroCluster
NetApp MetroCluster is an integrated high-availability and business continuance solution that leverages proven technologies from NetApp and its partners. It expands the capabilities of the comprehensive Network ApplianceT portfolio of high-availability and disaster recovery solutions-a portfolio that includes failover, data replication, and backup solutions. A simple-to-administer solution, MetroCluster extends failover capability from within a data center to a site located many miles away. It also replicates data from the primary site to the remote site to ensure that data there is completely current. The combination of failover and data replication ensures you can recover from disaster-with no loss of data-in minutes rather than hours or days. The built-in simplicity of MetroCluster allows you to quickly failover to a remote site and continue operations while turning your attention back to critical business decisions.
 
- SnapMirror

Exceptionally powerful, yet easy to use and administer, NetApp SnapMirror software delivers the disaster recovery and data distribution solution that today's global enterprises need. By replicating data at high speeds over a LAN or a WAN, SnapMirror software provides the highest possible data availability and fastest recovery for mission-critical applications.

SnapMirror technology mirrors data to one or more network filers. It continually updates the mirrored data to keep it current and available for disaster recovery, offloading tape backup, read-only data distribution, testing on nonproduction filers, online data migration, and more. If your enterprise is geographically dispersed and all locations need access to the same data set, such as training videos, CAD tools, and the like, SnapMirror can distribute the same data to all locations. By automatically updating this data and allowing local access to mirrored data, SnapMirror can dramatically improve employee productivity and efficiency.

 
- SnapVault
To ensure that important data is always protected and easily restored, NetApp created SnapVault. By frequently backing up data stored on NetApp or any other storage platform to Network Appliance enterprise storage or NearStore® systems appliances, SnapVault provides a centralized disk-based backup solution for heterogeneous storage environments. Storing backup data in multiple Snapshot copies on the SnapVault secondary storage system lets enterprises keep weeks of backups online for faster restoration. SnapVault also gives users the power to choose which data gets backed up, the frequency of backup, and how long the backup copies are retained.
