Business Continuance
Now more than ever, businesses must
focus on disaster preparedness and
recovery. Minutes of downtime are costly.
Hours of downtime can be catastrophic.
Working in concert with a customer’s
existing networking infrastructure,
Network Appliance storage solutions
provide comprehensive disaster readi-
ness. With NetApp solutions, you can
help customers implement remote site
mirroring and disaster recovery plans
quickly and effectively, without added
administration costs.
Global Storage Management
As a customer’s operations grow, it
becomes increasingly difficult to provide
timely information to remote locations
and branch offices, jeopardizing their
effectiveness and productivity. NetApp
storage solutions can quickly replicate
and relay information to one or many
locations, providing remote offices with
the data, application performance, and
online training they need to stay just as
current as the corporate headquarters.
The Right Solutions for
Today’s Market
To meet today’s challenges, many busi-
nesses must make fundamental changes
in the way they store and distribute data
and information. Network Appliance
solutions provide the answer with simple
and easy ways to consolidate storage
for greater productivity and cost savings:
SIMPLE AND EASY TO DEPLOY:
NetApp
solutions require a mere fraction of the
IT staff required by competitive solutions.
THE INDUSTRY’S LOWEST TCO:
According
to recent studies by INPUT, IDC, and the
GIGA Group
1
Network Appliance solutions
deliver the industry’s lowest total cost
of ownership by allowing customers to
architect solutions that require less time
and staff to implement and manage.
INHERENT FLEXIBILITY:
NetApp solutions
fit easily into heterogeneous computing
and networking environments, enabling
you to easily integrate your solutions into
a customer’s business.
HIGH AVAILABILITY:
NetApp solutions have
a real-world demonstrated data availabili-
ty of greater than 99.99%; this amounts
to just 30 minutes of downtime a year
versus 38 hours with traditional storage.
All this means that when you recommend
and sell a NetApp solution, you’ve sold
the best storage available today—and
made a customer for life.
“Network Appliance has been very successful with NAS and
must be viewed favorably as being able to carve out a piece
of the SAN market
