New White Paper Shows That NetApp V-Series Systems Help Customers Improve Storage Efficiency
| Source: NetApp, Inc.
SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - February 11, 2010) - The Evaluator Group, Inc. has released a
white paper titled "Future Proof Your Data-Center with NetApp® V-Series,"
which provides valuable guidelines on how to increase service levels and
reduce costs by leveraging technology prudently. According to the white
paper, authored by senior analyst Russ Fellows, organizations today are
looking for ways to streamline their operations and do more with less,
resulting in increased scrutiny and reduced budgets for IT departments.
Because storage is one of the largest components of IT spend, organizations
are focused on improving the efficiency of their current IT storage
investments while carefully determining what new IT storage investments are
needed.
Virtualization technologies offer organizations the flexibility to use
their existing IT infrastructure in new or different ways, while at the
same time enabling them to future proof their data centers and seamlessly
integrate new infrastructure deployments. According to the Evaluator Group,
NetApp (NASDAQ : NTAP ) V-Series is one of the few storage virtualization
products available today that can virtualize existing heterogeneous storage
pools and manage new storage pools, all while providing multiple
connectivity and protocol options with consistent data protection and
storage management tools. To view the white paper, visit

V-Series systems provide customers with several key building blocks that
are fundamental to achieving a more flexible and efficient storage
infrastructure, such as virtualization capabilities, intelligent data
management, data protection, application integration, and flexibility. The
V-Series product line addresses each of these components through its
multiprotocol support and an array of technologies that includes NetApp
SnapManager®, NetApp Snapshot™, deduplication, thin provisioning,
NetApp FlexClone®, and others, all of which are inherently part of
NetApp's unified storage platform. The result is a storage virtualization
product that enables organizations to consolidate both old and new storage
capacity behind a V-Series controller, simplifying storage management while
meeting both their business and application needs.
