Network Appliance Technical Case Study: Using a NetApp SAN with VMware to Facilitate Storage and Server Consolidation

Category: Storage, Servers and Server OS

Tags: sans, disaster recovery, server, infrastructure, software, applications, data

Overview This technical study reviews how the combination of VMware software and NetApp storage solutions provide significant advantages for companies consolidating servers and storage to reduce costs and increase operational efficiency.

VMware allows companies to reduce server counts by 50% or more without major application changes, while making it possible to adapt much more rapidly to support new projects and new applications. NetApp solutions simplify a company's overall storage infrastructure, creating a storage system that adapts rapidly to changing needs while improving data protection and disaster recovery - often by reducing or eliminating the need for tape-based solutions.
