NetApp announces Guarantee Program

BANGALORE, INDIA:NetApp, an IT service provider today announced the launch of Guarantee Program, a guarantee that would enable enterprises to decrease their primary storage capacities for virtual server environments.

Customers could take advantage of NetApp’s guarantee that they would use 50 per cent less storage in their VMware, Citrix, and Microsoft virtual environments with NetApp storage compared to traditional storage arrays, said a press release.

Alternatively, for customers that already own EMC, IBM, HP, or HDS storage systems, NetApp would reduce redundant copies of their primary data by at least 35 per cent with NetApp V-Series, it added.

This indirectly reduces their infrastructure costs like energy and real estate as raw storage addition is a key factor for higher power consumption and increased floor-space in data centers.

“Enterprises of all sizes are stretching their budgets and are strategizing to lower their overall infrastructure costs while minimizing the risk of their IT investments,” said Surajit Sen, director- alliances and marketing of NetApp India.

He added that their storage efficiency capabilities would not only save space and power costs but also maximize IT investments.

“We are assuring enterprises that they can realize efficiencies even with our competitors' solutions using NetApp V-Series technology. No other storage vendor is willing or able to match this guarantee, which has a direct cost benefit in the current economic environment,” Sen added.
