NetApp Adds Archiving Partners

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP) today furthered its role as an innovator and a leader in the archive and compliance market by announcing three new strategic relationships. As a result, CommVault, Quest, and Mimosa, all leaders in the archive industry, will integrate with NetApps industry-leading data protection and storage efficiency solutions, providing customers with a unified solution for increased performance and affordability.

Today, archiving important business data is more than just making sure that the information is retained and meets strict government compliance regulations. With customers paying closer attention to their IT bottom lines, it’s also imperative that their archive solutions operate efficiently and cost-effectively, without sacrificing performance.

“Our research suggests that companies will archive over 100,000 petabytes of data in the next three years," said Brian Babineau, senior analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group. "When you combine this capacity with multiyear retention periods, it drives the need for archive solutions that help organizations cost-effectively save data for long periods of time. Archive solutions that leverage the latest in data protection technology, including those that support the backup and disaster recovery of critical archive data, can address these significant demands."
