2. What You Really Need is Truly Unified Storage
Why is unified storage important to you and your business?
Your organization relies on data, but you don’t have time to waste worrying about how it’s stored. You need a
storage solution that fits any budget, grows with existing storage investments, and has the right capabilities for
today’s needs as well as tomorrow’s. You need to know that the storage investment you are making today is
flexible enough to meet future demands. With a truly unified storage solution, efficiency and effectiveness work
hand in hand as your needs evolve and change.

in 2002 and has shipped well over
150,000 unified storage systems
to customers around the world.

What is unified storage, really?
At the foundation, unified storage means that a storage system can support multiple storage access protocols
simultaneously – NAS protocols for applications that store and access storage in unstructured files and SAN
protocols for applications that store and access block-level data. NetApp pioneered unified storage access
capability back in 2002 and has shipped well over 150,000 unified storage systems since then. Today, other
storage vendors are just beginning to offer the basic level of unified storage capabilities that NetApp offered nine
years ago.
NetApp has spent the past nine years continuing to innovate, taking “unified” way beyond simple protocols.
Only NetApp’s unified platform supports diverse applications and workloads as one, with the same operating
system and functionality, running across the same storage systems, and managed with the same management
tools. Your time is valuable, and you don’t want to waste it migrating data, learning a new system, or replacing your
storage investment to get to the next level of capacity or functionality. With NetApp, you’ll never have to. These
capabilities are built into every NetApp® system—just turn them on as you need them. Only NetApp unified storage
solutions can give you this level of flexibility, operational efficiency, and investment protection with your data storage.

that “best delivers on the promise
to simplify storage infrastructure” by
39% of the respondents at Gartner’s
29th Annual Data Center Conference
in December 2010. EMC came in
a distant second at just 26%. This
marks the fourth consecutive year
that users have chosen NetApp
above every other storage vendor
for delivering simplicity.

4. Here are Three Critical Considerations for
Your Storage Purchase
1. an I afford it? You need a solution that’s priced right and that keeps on offering efficiency; a solution that that
C
contains capital and operational costs for the lifetime of your data. You want to buy exactly what you need, and
you want to be able to add more functionality and capacity as you need it. The future for flexible and efficient
organizations is an on-the-fly capability for IT functions.
2. s it simple? You might not have a storage specialist on staff, so you need a storage solution that offers
I
simplified management that you can learn once and use forever. Simplified and integrated data management is
the key, because your IT staff won’t be forced to constantly learn new technology management skills.
3. an it scale? Data growth means that you’ll need to scale – probably sooner than you anticipate. Add in your
C
business growth ambitions, and before you know it, you’ll need more capabilities and capacity. Unified storage
offers your business the flexibility to scale from extra small to extra large without throwing away your initial
investment. You already plan day-to-day activities and operations this way because it’s smarter. Now you can
manage your storage the same way.
NetApp’s unified storage platform offers your company the simplicity, cost efficiency, and flexibility to meet your
needs today and well into the future.
Let’s look at the facts on how NetApp’s unified storage platform sets a new bar for unified architecture that no
other storage provider can match.

5. “Can I afford it?”
Implement truly unified storage from
NetApp for less than $8,000.

6. NetApp’s Unified Storage Delivers Outstanding Efficiency for a Remarkably
Low Total Cost of Ownership Over the Lifetime of Your Customer’s Data
For less than $8,000, you get a complete NetApp unified solution.
The NetApp FAS2000 product line starts at less than $8,000 and has the same management tools, efficiency, and
flexibility as our data-center-class FAS6000 series. NetApp offers what you need today, with rich capabilities built
in and ready to use when you need them.
NetApp offers the most generous virtualization guarantee in the industry.
Efficiency means that your business will use less storage. In fact, you will use 50% less storage, guaranteed*,
in virtualized environments (EMC offers a 25% efficiency guarantee). NetApp takes it one step further and offers a
35% virtualization efficiency guarantee on EMC storage! Your business will benefit from a solution that helps you
save. You’ll take advantage of built-in capabilities like block-level deduplication, space-efficient and low-impact
Snapshot™ copies, thin provisioning (without caveats or limitations), and WAN-optimized replication to keep your
capacity footprint lean, fully protected, and easily manageable for years to come. The same industry-leading
storage efficiency functionality is available on every one of NetApp’s unified storage systems. Don’t settle for less
than a 50% efficiency guarantee!
Affordability is key. Data will grow by
54.7% in 2011, but data management
budgets will grow by only 5.5%.
(Source: IDC) This means that you
need a supplier who thrives on
building efficiencies for you so that
your data can grow, even if your
budget doesn’t.
NetApp 50% Guarantee: You will
use 50% less storage with NetApp
compared to a baseline of traditional
storage. EMC’s offer is only 25%.

10. Respond to the Growing Needs of Your Business
Without Disruption or Forklift Upgrades
Start right – scale on demand.
NetApp can deliver a storage solution that’s always right for your business and your budget. You can start with
a fully unified solution for less than $8,000. Then, as your business needs grow, applications are added, or more
capacity is required, you can seamlessly transition to the FAS3000 series without any migration or relearning.
That’s the power of truly unified storage.
Gartner Data Center Poll 2011:
Scale functionality – just turn it on!
This is the fourth year in a row that
NetApp has come out on top for
delivering the best value.
Chances are that your business will need to add functionality faster than you anticipate. With NetApp, protecting
data is as simple as turning on features from our broad range of data management software for quick and easy
on-site and off-site data protection. Other solutions, such as EMC VNXe, quickly max out capacity and limit
management capabilities – and when that happens, your business can face costly and disruptive upgrades.
You can lose your entire initial investment—plus have to learn a whole new storage solution. That’s wasted time
and money, and it’s disruptive to your business.
