new Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) article by Lauren Whitehouse.
Our success is primarily due to the fact that NetApp data protection products are truly unified --
NOT cobbled together as leftovers from some acquisition. It's really simple: leverage one operating system as your foundation (Data ONTAP), then the rest of the components fall into place.
To illustrate my point, let's take 3 NetApp products: SnapManager, SnapDrive, and Protection Manager: They "talk" well together ... create LUNs, backup apps, clone databases, and even set up remote backup relationships.
Or as my grandmother used to say, "a place for everything and everything in its place".
Of course, this level of integration would not have been possible without some of the best brains in the software development world: NTAP Engineering and the cohesive strategy of Product Management. Kudos to you guys and gals, too!
Look, I demo this stuff every day -- this is quality work. That's not just my personal opinion, but actually a reflective statement from our entire partner ecosystem.
Bottom-line: NetApp is better data protection!
