NETAPP VIRTUALIZATION TECHNOLOGY

Government Server Virtualization

In recent years, government data centers have been optimized by server virtualization, both from a re-architecture perspective as well as an overall streamlining of day-to-day operations. However, these virtualized server environments place a much higher demand on storage subsystems that are already struggling with a growth in unstructured data, digitization of government data, and complex regulatory requirements.

Bringing You Up to Speed

NetApp and DLT Solutions can help bring your agency’s storage strategy up to the same speed while taking the most logical approach to virtualization. Storage virtualization from NetApp separates the logical location of data from the site of the physical device – enabling increased asset utilization, faster application recovery and reduced space, power and cooling requirements.

Storage virtualization can help your agency simplify the tasks of back-up, archiving, and recovery more easily, and in less time, by disguising the actual complexity of the SAN.

Learn more about how your agency can realize the power of storage virtualization and experience new levels of performance and scalability at every level of the storage hierarchy from storage controller virtualization, to dynamic heterogeneous storage provisioning, through unified multiprotocol data access, and proven data protection and disaster recovery optimization.

Why NetApp Storage Virtualization?

• Unify and Consolidate Data (More)

  Virtualization has been inherent in NetApp systems since its beginnings and NetApp’s V-Series extends its inherent capabilities to a variety of other vendor storage arrays. The V-Series system is the first and only storage virtualization solution available that unifies block and file storage networking paradigms under a common architecture.

• Proven Data Management Software (More)

  Through the advanced virtualization capabilities of Data ONTAP® and the complete NetApp portfolio of value-added data management, data availability, data protection, and disaster recovery software, the V-Series solution unifies and reinvigorates existing storage infrastructures.

• Support for Mission-Critical Government Operations (More)

  NetApp’s V-Series systems seamlessly integrate into mission-critical SAN environments and provide a simple, elegant data management solution for decreasing management complexity, improving asset utilization, and streamlining government operations.
