Storage Simplified™ and Industry Solutions As a division of NetApp, StoreVault is focused on delivering data storage solutions tailored to the needs of small and medium-sized businesses. Using a technology base that has been proven in enterprise environments, StoreVault products and solutions are designed to take the complexity out of storage management, allowing you to focus on growing your business and not worry about your growing storage. The StoreVault S550and S300 are an all-in-one storage appliance that is capable of NAS, SAN and DAS right out of the box. For storage consolidation, simplified management and improved utilization, they bring peace-of-mind data protection to your storage environment.
The most common complaint from those with IT responsibilities concerns backup and restore. Backups are typically time-consuming, inconvenient and often unreliable. Restores are slow, laborious and often incomplete. The StoreVault S500 provides an end to this pain by delivering instant backups and instantaneous restore. If you are tired of doing full and incremental backups at odd hours, the power of Snapshots can be used to end daily incremental backups and also to eliminate the backup window. Backups can be made at any time without bringing down applications or inconveniencing users. Snapshot technology is able to produce a complete image of the live file system at a point-in-time on a pre-programmed basis or on demand. There is no disruption to normal operations and it all happens instantly. You may of course still want to perform full backups to tape for archive or off-site storage for disaster recovery purposes. Snapshot technology helps here too: because the Snapshot image is sable and read-only, the backup can be performed against the Snapshot image at any time, even while applications are running. Now backups can be run any time you want them. The StoreVaults are armed with a host of data protection technologies to provide the level of security that is right for your business. All StoreVault solutions are shipped with RAID protection on the hard disk drive array. This RAID scheme provides protection for your data in the case of a drive failure: the failing drive is replaced and the RAID group automatically rebuilds the array from the surviving drives. A unique feature of NetApp RAID technology is that additional drives can be added to the array at any time to increase capacity. An additional level of protection is available though RAID-DP, a NetApp exclusive technology, which provides protection for your data in the event of 2 concurrent drive failures. This feature can be specified when you order the StoreVault S500 or you can add it at any time. The time to recover from a failed drive can be enhanced with the addition of a global hot spare. This is an additional drive that carries no data until a drive failure is detected. In this case the hot spare rebuilds the data from the failed drive without waiting for a replacement drive to be found. One of the most common IT projects today is storage consolidation – migrating from local or direct attached storage to some form of networked storage. The StoreVault S500 makes an excellent centerpiece to your storage strategy: it's flexibility, scalability and simplicity ensure that it is ready to adapt to your business when you are ready. The StoreVault S500 can scale up to 6TB (S300 to 4TB) and can handle NAS and SAN in the same box. The simple management interface allows you to allocate storage from a central pool to applications and users. Unlike other systems, these allocations can be changed up or down at any time to deliver on-the-fly storage provisioning. Capacity can be simply added to the pool at any time and is instantly available for allocation. Not ready for SAN? No problem, add the S500 as a NAS device and migrate block storage later either via low-cost iSCSI which is built into every StoreVault product or opt for the high performance Fibre Channel card when you are ready. The StoreVault S500 is so flexible you can even add it as a direct-attached storage array until you are ready to use its other capabilities. Reduced costs are important not just in manufacturing but also in the support organizations like IT. As CAD and manufacturing application data files become larger and used more widely used in the organization, easy file sharing becomes more important and the old ways of storing data on individual servers with direct attached storage simply does not support the business efficiently. StoreVault, a division of storage industry leader NetApp, offers an all-in-one storage appliance that simplifies centralizing storage. With a simple management interface that does not require storage administration expertise, the StoreVault S500 can easily accommodate changing storage demands. Extra capacity can be easily added as required without the need to disrupt users. Capacity can also be allocated and reallocated without disruption, dramatically improving storage utilization. With support for file sharing and centralized application storage, all your storage needs can be met with reliability, peace-of-mind data protection and for a surprisingly affordable cost. Law firms have a variety of fluctuating storage needs depending on the case. With the rise in electronic data usage, sorting through documents for a case has changed from sifting papers to electronic discovery. E-mail records, financial data, contracts, drawings, transaction records all require storage for the litigation period and often longer. The amount of storage required is increasing exponentially every year. Every case is different and has different requirements for retention. This is particularly difficult to manage in a direct attached storage environment. The StoreVault provides a way for law firms to consolidate their storage into a central, scalable pool that can be easily allocated and reallocated without the need to buy new processing power or disrupting existing storage. Capacity can be easily added as required without the need to disrupt applications. Once physical capacity has been added to the pool, storage can be simply allocated to a server, user group or application on the fly. Data can be protected to survive a dual disk drive failure; case files can be backed up and restored in an instant; and the backup window can become a thing of the past. CPA firms' reputations are built on providing excellence and integrity in helping businesses and individuals attain their financial goals. There is increasing state and federal regulation to protect and retain client records. Secure and efficient backup is a challenge for these companies, especially in a direct attached storage environment. Tapes must be loaded, unloaded and identified for each server, which is time consuming and prone to error. StoreVault, a division of storage industry leader NetApp, offers an all-in-one storage appliance that simplifies centralizing storage for accounting firms. With a simple management interface that does not require storage administration expertise, the StoreVault can easily accommodate changing storage demands. The StoreVault provides a way to improve the reliability of backups while reducing the overall cost of storage management through consolidation of storage into a central, scalable pool that can be easily allocated and reallocated. Capacity can be easily added as required without the need to disrupt applications. Once physical capacity has been added to the pool, storage can be simply allocated to a server, user group or application on the fly. Data can be protected to survive a dual disk drive failure; client records can be backed up and restored in an instant; and the backup window can become a thing of the past with NetApp Snapshot technology Medical practices are increasingly being driven from paper-based systems to electronic records management. Patient records, examination notes, X-rays and drug details are all being stored digitally to provide more information to the medical staff and ultimately better care to the patients. Security, privacy and availability of these records are paramount. The StoreVault S300 and S500 provides a way for medical practices to reduce their storage management costs through consolidation of their storage into a central, scalable pool that can be easily allocated and reallocated without disrupting the medical care. Capacity can be easily added as required without the need to disrupt applications. Once physical capacity has been added to the pool, storage can be simply allocated to a server, user group or application on the fly. Data can be protected to survive a dual disk drive failure; patient records can be backed up and restored in an instant; and the backup window can become a thing of the past with NetApp Snapshot technology.
