NetApp: Storage Strategies for Virtualised Environments

Storage Strategies for Virtualised Environments with NetApp, which continues the virtualisation theme by looking at the implications of your storage choices in a virtualised environment.

Too many organisations think of storage in a separate context to their overall virtualisation strategy. By doing this, you could be missing out on some of the more advanced features of VMware – potentially foregoing additional cost savings and provisioning flexibility that underpinned your business case for virtualising in the first place.

By incorporating a unified storage architecture, traditionally difficult areas such as backup and Disaster Recovery can be included as components of your virtualisation solution – without incurring huge additional costs.

So join Harbour IT and NetApp at this strictly fluff-free Techie Brekky… facts and demonstrations for technical people, given by technical people.

Gain an understanding of the issues and considerations around a unified storage architecture within a virtualised environment and find out how you can:
Automate some of the most labour-intensive data management tasks
Slash 50-90% off VMware storage requirements through deduplication technology
Accelerate time-to-deployment by instantly provisioning servers and storage together
Setup instantaneous backup and recovery processes.
