Smart Storage Solutions Enable Midsize Organizations to Accelerate Growth, Increase Simplicity, and Leverage the Cloud
Midsize businesses face the challenge of keeping pace with growing demands while managing the volume of data being generated, all with limited IT resources and budget. Building on a simple, flexible, and efficient IT infrastructure enables the agility required to help midsize businesses capitalize on this data growth to drive their success and create a competitive advantage. As a result, the decisions midsize businesses make about their storage foundation play a critical role in their future success.
NetApp’s new (NASDAQ: NTAP) FAS2220 is the latest member of its entry-level product portfolio and builds on the momentum and success of the recently introduced FAS2240. Already an established leader in the midsize market, with more than 10,000 customers turning to NetApp each year for their storage needs, the new FAS2220 delivers innovative new technologies and increased value that enable midsize businesses to:
- Start right by providing more performance and software value than traditional entry-level storage systems
- Keep it simple by delivering increased performance without increasing deployment or management complexity
- Grow smart by leveraging existing storage investments and easily adding new capabilities to meet changing needs
Enhanced Portfolio Provides Powerful, Simple, and Flexible Platform
