In typical direct-attached storage (DAS) environments with multiple servers, data protection and backup is challenging, storage is difficult to
manage and scale, and storage resources are underutilised. In addition, many organisations are now faced with an exponential growth in the number of applications that they must support.
NetApp and Novell combine to improve data access and protection for NetWare and SUSE LINUX environments with iSCSI based IP SAN solutions.
NetApp Storage solutions for Novell optimise utilisation by creating a pool of storage resources available to all Novell hosts. Based on the iSCSI standard, the solution offers the advantages of SAN technology without the high costs of a traditional SAN infrastructure.
The solution also delivers simplified management through centralised provisioning, resource monitoring, and easy data backups and restores, greatly enhancing data protection capabilities. NetApp iSCSI storage network technology with Novell iSCSI initiator for NetWare and SUSE LINUX help organisations to pool resources with low cost SAN by using existing high-speed IP network infrastructure.
Reduced Costs
NetApp Storage Consolidation results in simplified infrastructure and operations, improved resource utilisation, increased performance and productivity, and reduced management overheads, meaning much lower overall costs. By using iSCSI technology, organisations can leverage existing Ethernet resources to deploy low-cost SAN over an existing IP network, minimising upfront costs and management costs.
Increased Performance
Enterprise data sharing is accelerated by serving and storing data on a highly reliable and easily scalable platform, achieving greater throughput than traditional Windows file server infrastructure.
Flexibility
The NetApp Consolidation Solution provides simplified and centralised storage, meaning that IT staff can scale the system easily and incrementally, without disruption to applications and the end users.
