NetApp, Symantec Integration Enhances Storage Efficiency

NetApp announced that it has integrated its unified storage systems with Symantec’s Thin Reclamation API to help SAN customers automatically reclaim storage space and improve overall storage efficiency.

This solution aims to give customers the ability to manage, reduce, and reclaim storage space throughout the entire data lifecycle so they can improve planning and reduce their overall IT footprint and management costs.

“Symantec offers the industry’s leading cross-platform thin optimisation solution, enabling organisations to benefit from the true cost and efficiency advantages of thin provisioning,” said Don Angspatt, Vice President- Product Management, Storage and Availability Management Group, Symantec. “The integration of Veritas Storage Foundation with NetApp’s market-leading storage solutions enables IT organisations to proactively plan their storage environment, improve storage utilisation rates, and get the most value from their data centre investments.”

“NetApp storage gives customers storage efficiency capabilities that go beyond thin provisioning, deduplication on primary storage, and default RAID-DP,” said Patrick Rogers, Vice President- Solutions and Alliances, NetApp. “By working with Symantec and integrating our storage with Veritas Storage Foundation, we continue to break new ground in what is possible with IT efficiency. The principle is to provide leading efficiency without any compromise on flexibility, simplicity, and performance.”
