Now more than ever, businesses must

focus on disaster preparedness and

recovery. Minutes of downtime are costly.

Hours of downtime can be catastrophic.

Working in concert with a customer’s

existing networking infrastructure,

Network Appliance storage solutions 

provide comprehensive disaster readi-

ness. With NetApp solutions, you can

help customers implement remote site

mirroring and disaster recovery plans

quickly and effectively, without added

administration costs.

As a customer’s operations grow, it

becomes increasingly difficult to provide

timely information to remote locations 

and branch offices, jeopardizing their

effectiveness and productivity. NetApp

storage solutions can quickly replicate

and relay information to one or many

locations, providing remote offices with

the data, application performance, and

online training they need to stay just as

current as the corporate headquarters.

To meet today’s challenges, many busi-

nesses must make fundamental changes

in the way they store and distribute data

and information. Network Appliance 

solutions provide the answer with simple

and easy ways to consolidate storage 

for greater productivity and cost savings:

NetApp

solutions require a mere fraction of the 

IT staff required by competitive solutions.

According

to recent studies by INPUT, IDC, and the

GIGA Group

Network Appliance solutions

deliver the industry’s lowest total cost 

of ownership by allowing customers to

architect solutions that require less time

and staff to implement and manage.

NetApp solutions

fit easily into heterogeneous computing

and networking environments, enabling

you to easily integrate your solutions into

a customer’s business.

NetApp solutions have

a real-world demonstrated data availabili-

ty of greater than 99.99%; this amounts

to just 30 minutes of downtime a year

versus 38 hours with traditional storage.

All this means that when you recommend

and sell a NetApp solution, you’ve sold

the best storage available today—and

made a customer for life.

“Network Appliance has been very successful with NAS and

must be viewed favorably as being able to carve out a piece
of the SAN market
