The ProSys & NetApp Difference

Together, ProSys and NetApp work hard to provide comprehensive advanced technology solutions designed to meet and exceed customer expectations.

HARDWARE

Create a flexible and efficient shared IT infrastructure with NetApp® storage at the foundation. NetApp fully featured storage systems offer high-end benefits. They feature the high-availability capabilities you need to keep your business up and running.

The industry-leading NetApp Unified Storage Architecture simplifies management, increases efficiencies, and reduces storage costs. An integrated suite of manageability software enables you to maximize storage and service efficiency so that you can get the most from your shared storage infrastructure. Integrated deduplication, data compression, and thin provisioning reduce the amount of storage you need to purchase and maintain, significantly lowering your total cost of ownership. With fewer systems, you also save on power, cooling, and data center real estate costs.

SOFTWARE

Data ONTAP 8.0.1

Achieve maximum storage efficiency, flexibility, and availability with Data ONTAP® 8.0.1. With efficiency technologies such as deduplication, data compression, and thin provisioning, Data ONTAP 8.0.1 reduces the amount of storage you need to purchase and maintain. Not only do you reduce the amount of physical storage, but you can also gain significant savings in power, cooling, and data center real estate costs.

With Unified Connect and Data ONTAP 8.0.1, you can fully consolidate your IT environment. You no longer need separate cards or FC switches—everything can be run over the Ethernet connection. You can streamline IT operations, lower operating costs, and achieve the ultimate in flexibility.

Data Motion, another powerful feature of Data ONTAP 8.0.1, lets you perform live data migration without needing planned downtime. You can keep your shared IT infrastructure running as you add capacity, update technology, and balance performance. Your users and applications are always connected to their data—regardless of where that data resides. Data ONTAP 8.0.1 also enables you to:

• Quickly adapt storage to fit your evolving business requirements.
• Keep your data protected—yet instantly available—throughout your organization.
• Simplify storage management with centralized, policy-based management software and tools.

OnCommand Management Software

Improve storage and service efficiency with NetApp® OnCommand™ management software. OnCommand provides simple, efficient, and flexible management software tools that help you get the most out of your shared IT infrastructure. Centralized management, monitoring, and reporting tools let you take control of your storage environment. You reduce complexity by managing storage as a single pool across NAS and SAN with NetApp’s single, unified approach—the most effective storage infrastructure for virtualized data centers.
Policy-based automation reduces errors and simplifies administration. You maximize storage utilization and reduce the overall cost and complexity of managing your storage infrastructure. And you increase the productivity of your IT staff, freeing up resources to invest in the future.

Analysis tools help you gain insight into your storage infrastructure so that you can align business intelligence with business strategy. You have the information you need to achieve better capacity utilization, make smart capacity purchases, and mitigate risks relating to the capacity provisioning process.

With OnCommand, you can:
• Optimize storage utilization.
• Meet service-level agreements.
• Reduce risk.
• Boost performance.

OnCommand also offers an integration strategy that allows your existing management tools from other vendors to have the same level of storage access and control.
