NetApp
NetApp storage for enterprise NAS and SAN in on-prem and hybrid estates.
NetApp is an enterprise storage platform providing NAS and SAN services for on-prem and hybrid estates. It stores application data, virtual machine files and shared file systems.
Operational challenges include capacity planning, performance tuning, firmware updates and keeping data protection consistent across snapshots, replication and backups. Access controls, encryption at rest and integration with virtualisation and cloud targets also need attention.
Where NetApp fits
It integrates with hypervisors, application servers, backup systems and cloud targets via NAS exports, iSCSI or Fibre Channel. Network zoning, multipathing and export policies determine how hosts see storage.
You should consider it for recovery objectives, application performance and backup windows. Storage changes affect capacity, access and data protection across the wider estate.
