Freedom of the Unbound Cloud

Today's IT climate is all about freedom. Cloud computing has completely re-modelled the face of the modern enterprise with many businesses at least partly if not fully virtualised.
Freedom of the Unbound Cloud

To realise the full potential of the cloud, cloud solutions need to be tailor-made for the enterprise. Enter NetApp's vision of the Unbound Cloud, allowing movement and control of data across multiple cloud environments using NetApp's Clustered Data ONTAP. Giving your enterprise access to data without limits.

"Enterprises can leverage a single storage and data management platform with NetApp's Clustered Data ONTAP, enabling unrestricted and secure movement of data across public and private clouds, allowing for hybrid cloud architectures. NetApp also guarantees that existing data will be pared down by at least 35% and data storage requirements will be reduced by 50%. So enterprises will be able to do more with less," states Dorio Bowes, Business Development Manager at Comstor a Westcon Group company.
