SQL Server is a powerful but low cost database solution for a variety of enterprise and departmental applications. The broad adoption of SQL has lead to a growing number of isolated servers and storage systems, leading to a complex, inflexible infrastructure with high administrative costs and distributed disconnected data. Data availability is also problematic with complicated, time-consuming backup and recovery processes.
NetApp storage solution consolidates the data in the SQL environment onto a unified, flexible, enterprise-class platform, improving availability and accelerating performance, while reducing resource requirements and costs. NetApp delivers a highly available, streamlined storage system, integrated data management software and comprehensive support.
NetApp Filers integrate seamlessly within existing IT infrastructures running Microsoft Windows, working side by side with SQL Server to provide centralised access to data, faster and simpler backup and recovery options, and the ability to expand storage without downtime.
Network Appliance has been supporting Microsoft SQL Server since the release of SQL Server 6.5, resulting in a thoroughly tested, high performance solution for critical business processes.
High Availability
NetApp FAS storage systems provide robust, fault-tolerant storage, minimising disruptions with on the fly disk expansion, near instantaneous backups, and the ability to recover databases within minutes.
Flexibility
NetApp FlexVol technology, standard on all systems, allows the creation of multiple flexible volumes on a large pool of disks, optimising capacity and performance whilst enabling the addition of storage without disrupting the SQL server.
Cost Reduction
Consolidating storage by leveraging existing IP and Ethernet infrastructure reduces storage costs and centralises management, allowing for more efficient storage and server utilisation.
Reduction of Complexity
NetApp SnapManager for SQL Server automates backup, recovery, and migration activities, allowing Windows administrators to easily manage complex SAN infrastructures. NetApp Snapshot technology, along with SnapRestore and SnapMirror software, provide the ability to recover any size of database within minutes, create hundreds of near-instantaneous, none performance degrading backups, and perform efficient remote mirroring to protect from disaster.
