Network Appliance¢â solutions are extremely simple and quick to deploy, are easier to manage, offer
increased availability, and require fewer IT resources. This means they dramatically lower lifetime total cost of
ownership. Where others manage complexity, NetApp simply eliminates it.
NetApp fabric-attached storage (FAS) systems offer robust, field-proven, highly available storage solutions (>99.99% data availability)
for consolidating data and simplifying data management. NetApp storage systems are easy-to-manage appliances, specifically designed for
today's scalable, network-centric IT system architectures.
NearStore systems offer cost-effective, fast-access storage for online backup and archiving. NearStore perfectly complements and
dramatically improves existing tape backup processes by inserting economical and simple-to-use disk-based storage between application
storage and tape libraries, in a two-stage backup configuration.
The NetApp gFiler¢â is an innovative storage consolidation solution that provides unified SAN and NAS access to data stored in Fibre
Channel SAN storage arrays from HDS, IBM, and others, enabling data center storage deployment for and expanded set of business solutions.
Like all NetApp storage appliances, the gFiler is based on the industry-hardened Data ONTAP¢â microkernel operating system that supports
multiprotocol services and advanced data management capabilities for consolidating, protecting, and recovering mission-critical data for
enterprise applications and users.
NetCache appliances integrate proxy, advanced caching, content-filtering, Web virus-scanning, and usage analysis functionality into a
single solution that is secure, reliable, and easy to manage. NetCache appliances also improve access to content by storing content closer to
the end users, eliminating network and server bottlenecks. This solves the network challenges associated with delivering streaming media and
facilitates business application acceleration within the corporate WAN.
