Business Continuity Solutions
Delivering architectural simplicity, fast data recovery, storage resiliency, and affordable disaster recovery.
Organizations must be able to maintain application availability during planned or unplanned downtime and have the ability to quickly reestablish full functionality in case of a disaster. Revenue cannot be generated unless the business is up and running. The NetApp storage solution is a comprehensive offering that addresses all causes of application downtime–preventing operator errors, rapidly recovering from operator and application errors, minimizing planned downtime, maximizing system uptime, and recovering from disaster. NetApp delivers exceptional data availability with architectural simplicity, fast data recovery, storage resiliency, and affordable disaster recovery solutions that enable you to protect more of your applications for less.
Reduced Operator Errors
The NetApp unified storage architecture uses just one set of software and processes across all tiers of storage, greatly simplifying the complexities of enterprise data management. A single process for activities such as installation, provisioning, mirroring, backup, and upgrading is used throughout our entire product line, lowering administrative costs and making it easier to deploy new capabilities across all tiers of storage, significantly reducing the opportunities for operator error.
Rapid Recovery of Near-Current Copies of Data
NetApp Snapshot™ technology enables near-instantaneous, space-efficient online backups of large datasets without affecting system performance. This makes it possible to perform frequent backups at any time throughout the day, ensuring near-current copies of data. SnapRestore® works with Snapshot, enabling you to revert an entire file system to an earlier stored Snapshot copy within seconds.
Integrated, Simple Fault Tolerance
NetApp solutions are designed for resiliency at every level of the storage solution–disk drives and arrays, controllers and subsystems, and completely integrated SAN and NAS solutions. From our industry-leading RAID 6 technology, RAID-DP™, to our fully redundant, active-active failover capability, fault tolerance is a key ingredient of every NetApp Solution.
Affordable Disaster Recovery (DR)
NetApp DR solutions are flexible and cost-effective, making it affordable for you to cover more of your application tiers under a single DR plan. In addition, our solutions help you justify the cost of your DR infrastructure by making it easy to put the DR site to active business use–offloading the production system for tape backups, application testing, and remote read access.
