Efficiency - Deduplication and intelligent Caching


Deduplication – End-to-End

• Deduplication of primary storage

• Integrated

Any Business Applications

Across all platforms and all protocols

• Storage-efficient virtualization

OS & Application VMs

User home directories

Dedupe for best performance

Deduplication

Reduce Latency with Flash Cache


Legacy Storage for Server Virtualization

Storage requirements equal to physical infrastructure

− 1:1 data foot print per VM

I/O pattern is same as physical infrastructure

− 1:1 I/O requirement per VM

What’s virtualized about this spinning tin?

Traditional arrays weren’t designedfor the cloud


Storage Designed for Server Virtualization

NetApp arrays are designedfor the cloud

Storage requirements less then a physical infrastructure

I/O pattern is optimized for virtual infrastructure

Virtualized storage!
