Netapp StoreVault extends support to small business

Nov 22, 2006 9:30 AM

StoreVault, a NetApp (Sunnyvale, CA) division, has added features to its StoreVault S500 for small and midsize businesses. StoreVault is delivering on its promise to make simple, scalable data management and storage technology from NetApp available to small and midsize businesses through a flexible network storage solution at a price point that fits their budgets.

Data ONTAP StoreVault Edition and StoreVault Manager have the following new features to further extend enterprise-class functionality to the SMB masses: StoreVault replication; and Fibre Channel (FC) support.

The StoreVault S500 provides seamless technology functionality without the need for new hardware, resources, cycles, or training investment. For example, StoreVault Replication is built into StoreVault Manager 2.0 and the software is an embedded application in Data ONTAP StoreVault Edition. The StoreVault S500 provides one centralized network storage solution for efficient data movement, disaster recovery, and off-site backup services, eliminating the need to purchase, install, or learn new hardware or additional software.

Gartner Dataquest’s October 2006 survey, “User Survey Analysis: Top Storage Demands from Global Small and Midsize Businesses,” was completed with 1,138 respondents around the world, with each country evenly represented by 100 or slightly more than 100 respondents. According to the survey, two of the top five problems IT personnel face when managing storage are lack of reliable backup/recovery solutions and lack of storage management tools. In addition, among the top storage software solutions that will receive the greatest amount of new budget dollars during the next one to three years are backup and replication software and storage resource management (SRM)/SAN management software.

StoreVault Replication and the StoreVault FC Starter Kit from QLogic are available in the United States. StoreVault Replication pricing starts at $1,500 for each StoreVault S500 system. Licenses for an existing StoreVault S500 may be purchased directly from qualified StoreVault VARs, with specific pricing available through the channel. Pricing for the StoreVault FC Starter Kit from QLogic starts at $4,000 and includes a factory-installed HBA, cabling, and switch. Additional HBAs are priced at $650 each.
