NetApp Storage Consolidation for Microsoft Windows File Serving

The dramatic growth of Windows data in today's business environments has led to a proliferation of Windows file servers. The consequences of this are complex infrastructures with high overhead costs, poorly utilised storage assets, time consuming backup processes, and reduced system availability.
