The Value of NetApp
with VMware
Stuart Harrison
NetApp Systems Engineer

2. Repeated customer challenges
 Backing up and Restoring VMs
 Protecting virtualised data with DR
 Saving space, power and cooling
 Deduplicating virtual server and virtual
desktop data (enabling 50% space
savings!)
 Automating data management tasks
 How to clone and provision storage as
quickly as VMs
 Do all of this with one architecture in
any environment

4. NetApp Storage in
Virtualized Environments
The Most Flexible IT Infrastructure
“Unified storage in one box is what sold us. We are
running FC today for VMware®, but we can run
iSCSI [tomorrow], and use the CIFS protocol as
well to consolidate [our fileservers].”
