In 2008 we told you about NetApp's guarantee* that you will use 50% less storage with NetApp in a VMware virtual environment compared to a traditional storage baseline - or NetApp will provide the additional capacity at no additional charge!
Then earlier this year we informed you that this offer had been extended from VMware environments to cover Citrix XenServer and Microsoft Hyper-V.
Now we are pleased to announce that the offer has has been extended even further...
Unleash the full potential of your EMC, HP, or HDS systems with the NetApp Virtualisation Guarantee* Program. By using NetApp V-Series open storage controllers, you can use deduplication to reduce your existing data by at least 35%!
NetApp's unique storage efficiency technologies for Citrix, Microsoft and VMware environments provide greater utilisation without compromise. To be eligible for the Program, you must follow the best practices as implemented by NetApp Professional Services and described by the Technical Guide and Best Practices for Citrix, Microsoft and VMware environments.
You must also use the following NetApp features:
- Deduplication
- RAID-DP®**
- Thin provisioning
- NetApp Snapshot™
When you meet these simple requirements, your virtualisation storage requirements will be reduced—guaranteed.
Otherwise, a NetApp expert will validate your claim and initiate remediation. If, after expert analysis, you don’t use 50% less storage with NetApp or reduce your data by 35% on non-NetApp storage with NetApp V-Series, then NetApp will provide the additional capacity to meet the shortfall at no additional charge. It’s that simple.
