NetApp, Symantec Join Hands To Improve Archive Storage Efficiency

NetApp has announced integration of its archive and compliance solution with Symantec Enterprise Vault 8.0. Together, NetApp and Symantec will enable customers to maximise storage efficiency and optimise protection of enterprise archived data to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of archive environments.

Symantec and NetApp collaborated extensively to develop a joint archive solution so customers can take advantage of the following key capabilities:

- Deduplication - Enterprise Vault has optimised its support of NetApp deduplication. The combination of NetApp deduplication with Symantec Optimised Single Instance Storage allows customers to eliminate redundant data.

- Improved protection - Joint customers can take advantage of NetApp’s cascading Snapshot approach for end-to-end replication across the entire archive application stack. Customers can now increase application availability, reduce backup downtime, and improve recovery times of archive applications and content.

- Simplified management - NetApp’s unified architecture enables customers to simplify their archive storage infrastructure with one management platform to reduce overhead and improve scalability and flexibility.

“Customers are archiving across more than just e-mail to include file systems, SharePoint, and IM,” said Simon Jelley, senior director, Symantec Enterprise Vault product management. “With more information being archived, customers are looking to optimise their storage costs and resource allocation. Enterprise Vault 8.0 brings storage efficiency with optimised single instance storage and takes it a step further with integration to NetApp’s deduplication technology. Together, we are working to help customers realise greater value from their data protection and archive environments.”
