Seven core technologies provide the ultimate in storage efficiency
NetApp’s seven core hardware and software technologies deliver efficiency results that are virtually unmatched in the industry. From SATA drives and double-parity RAID to deduplication, thin provisioning, snapshots, thin replication, and virtual copies, these efficiencies apply across all storage systems—not just NetApp® systems—so you can get more out of what you already own. Plus, the technologies can have a compounding effect—the more you use, the more you can save.
With NetApp, you gain all these efficiencies without compromising performance. In fact, we can help you reduce your costs AND increase productivity.

Gain the benefits of SNAPSHOTS without the performance hits
NetApp is the leader in space-efficient Snapshot™ technology, which uses minimal storage and has no performance impact so you can copy important data frequently. You get NetApp Snapshot copies in less than a second by creating a second set of data pointers, requiring no additional capacity.
With NetApp, you can make up to 255 Snapshot copies per volume, instantly. Many competitive solutions are limited to far fewer snapshot copies and require the equivalent capacity of a full copy of the volume in order to create snapshots.
Get up-to-the-minute data protection AND high performance—you no longer have to choose.

Maximize your data protection efficiency with thin replication
NetApp thin replication technology enables data copies that are required for protection to be created quickly and efficiently. Once the initial baseline data is transferred, only incremental block changes are transferred, using minimal LAN/WAN bandwidth. The result is high performance and space efficiency when making data copies for disaster recovery and D2D backup/recovery.
Combining deduplication and thin replication reduces storage requirements even more. Our customers report utilization rates approaching and even exceeding 100%. We helped a natural-products company reduce its backup window from more than 8 hours to 30 seconds.
With NetApp, you can achieve maximum efficiency AND maximum performance.

Provision storage faster and easier with thin provisioning
With thin provisioning technology, you no longer have to guess how much storage to allocate to each individual application. Applications can share a common pool of storage so you can easily accommodate growth and maximize utilization.
Higher utilization AND higher productivity—NetApp gives you both.

Store more data with high-density SATA drives and RAID-DP
We combine SATA drives with double-parity RAID and intelligent caching so you can take advantage of low-cost, high-capacity disk drives without sacrificing resiliency or performance. And, with the ability to combine SATA and Fibre Channel or SAN and NAS on NetApp’s unified architecture, you can meet your changing business needs.
Get low cost AND high performance. With NetApp, you don’t have to compromise.

Slash capacity requirements up to 95% with deduplication
NetApp deduplication has helped thousands of customers eliminate duplicate data to reclaim capacity across all tiers—primary, backup, and archival. In fact, we guarantee* that you will use 50% less storage with NetApp compared to a baseline of traditional storage.
We can help you spend less AND increase efficiency.

Make virtual volume copies with near-zero capacity requirements
With NetApp FlexClone®, instead of having to provision storage capacity to create copies of production data for development and testing, you can quickly make virtual copies with near-zero incremental capacity requirements.
Cost savings AND improved business performance—NetApp gives you efficiency without compromise.
Find out how these efficiencies can apply to you and your environment. With our Fast-Start Workshops, Storage Efficiency Calculator, and detailed “Restructuring IT with Storage Efficiency” (RISE) reports, we will evaluate your current environment, make efficiency recommendations, and show you the results you can expect.
