Protocols

NetApp storage systems natively support a variety of network protocols, making it ideal for consolidating your mixed IT environment.

In today's collaborative business environment, you need a storage solution that can handle different type of files and data from different sources-user files, e-mail, and database among them. NetApp's storage solutions work as "unification engines," supporting Fibre Channel and iSCSI SANs and NFS and CIFS NAS in the same box.

NetApp SAN: Your data is growing, your budget is shrinking, and you still have to meet stringent performance and availability requirements. Find yourself having to do more with less? NetApp SAN solutions can help. These days, it's more important than ever to maximize utilization, optimize storage space, and reduce duplicate data. NetApp SAN solutions incorporate technologies such as thin provisioning, deduplication, SnapshotTM, and FlexClone® to help you use all available disk space and avoid the vast majority of data duplication in the first place.

Network-Attached Storage (NAS): Solve your data management challenges of scalability and availability with NetApp network-attached storage solutions. If you use a direct-attached storage (DAS) environment, you know that DAS can result in inefficient data allocation and uncertain data availability. Simplify your data management, add reliability, and keep up with the growing needs of your business with the NetApp portfolio of network-attached storage solutions for flexible provisioning, reliable backup, archiving, business continuity, and virtualization.
