and Change the Game
for Years to Come
Your business has come to
a fork in the road. Make your
next move with the NetApp®
agile data infrastructure and
put an end to costly downtime
associated with tech refreshes.
Master your future by making
the move that will pay off today
and for years to come.
Start from the Winning Position
A rock-solid foundation for the future
It’s hard to predict where your business
will be in 5 to 10 years, let alone how
technology will change. So make the
smart decision for tomorrow with an
agile architecture today. NetApp’s agile
data infrastructure lets you manage the
storage needs of your entire data center
with one basic storage platform, with
configurations from a few disk drives to
over 50PB of data in a single storage
pool. You can now handle today’s
requirements and tomorrow’s growth
while avoiding costly operational
disruptions.
Buy as little as you need
Your IT architecture should scale
capacity, performance, and operations
to stay in sync with your business. The
NetApp agile data infrastructure allows
you to invest incrementally to keep
pace with projected data growth across
the business, eliminating the need to
overprovision and waste resources.
Increase storage utilization
from day one
NetApp storage efficiency solutions
deliver the unparalleled capability you
need to reduce your data footprint
“universally” across all storage tiers and
data types. Show us how much data
you need to store in your virtual environment, and we guarantee that you

will use 50% less storage with NetApp
compared to a baseline of traditional
storage. You’ll achieve better protection, increase flexibility, and use less
storage.1
Master Your Future Moves
Automate routine storage tasks
NetApp workflow automation eliminates
slow, error-prone manual processes for
storage management. It enables storage
administrators to provision NetApp
storage for fast turnkey deployments
of applications including VMware®,
Oracle®, Microsoft®, SAP®, Citrix, and
others. It can be used to construct,
customize, test, publish, and activate
a broad range of storage workflows.
Use the optimal storage tier based
on the value of data
The NetApp virtual storage tier is an
optimized approach that offers realtime promotion of hot data, the smallest
level of granularity, simple deployment
and management, and full integration
with NetApp storage efficiency capabilities. With the NetApp VST, you can
increase I/O performance by up to 75%
and reduce by 75% the number of disk
spindles required to accommodate
I/O-intensive workloads.
Security and Protection Going
Forward
Embedded data security
NetApp secure multi-tenancy (SMT)
offers data separation and service-level
guarantees for multiple tenants while
leveraging the efficiencies of a shared
infrastructure.
NetApp also supports onboard antivirus scanning, deeply integrated in
the NetApp Data ONTAP® operating
system. Onboard antivirus scanning
allows the antivirus engines to directly
access the data by using a fast native
storage controller protocol, reducing
the overhead seen in traditional off-box
antivirus solutions.
Finally, NetApp Storage Encryption
(NSE) is our implementation of full disk
encryption (FDE) using self-encrypting
drives from leading vendors. NSE
supports the entire suite of storage
efficiency technologies from NetApp,
including deduplication and compression, providing the same efficiency
savings as unencrypted volumes.

Make disruptive upgrades a
thing of the past
Storage is the number-one line item
in most IT budgets. Yet many buy at
least 25% more storage than needed,
undermining efforts to optimize IT
efficiency. Undergoing a technology
refresh can bring considerable benefits
for your business, but the process can
introduce significant consequences if
the transition is not handled properly.
It’s time to stop wasting time, money,
and valuable resources. NetApp
storage and efficiency solutions will
enable you to save time and budget
so you can meet your immediate goals
as well as implement your long-term
strategy. Remember, every move
matters. Choose NetApp and change
the game forever.
