NetApp is an intelligent data infrastructure company that provides unified data storage, integrated data services and cloud operations solutions to our customers.

Auch in Zeiten von Cloud-first und hyperkonvergenten Architekturen bleibt das klassische SAN ein zentraler Baustein moderner Unternehmens-Infrastrukturen. Warum? Weil Hochverfügbarkeit, Performance und Skalierbarkeit gerade bei geschäftskritischen Anwendungen nach wie vor höchste Priorität besitzen. 
 
In unserem Webcast zeigen wir Dir, wie unsere eigene Produktlinie genau hier ansetzt – und was sie anders macht als die von uns gewohnten Unified-Systemen: 
 
* Warum eine eigene Produktlinie? Die strategischen und technischen Vorteile 
* Unterschiede zu Unified: Klar abgegrenzt und praxisnah erklärt 
* Failover-Szenarien: So verhält sich das System bei Pfad- oder Controller-Ausfällen 
* Management & Integration: Einfaches Handling und nahtlose Einbindung in Deine Applikationen 
* Hochverfügbarkeit im SAN-Umfeld: Synchroner Spiegel auf Basis * SnapMirror Active Sync (SMas) 
* Blueprints aus der Praxis: Beispielhafte Infrastruktur-Designs 
* F&A_ Deine Fragen, unsere Antworten

Is your data secure where it lives? If you think that network protection, identity security, and application safeguards are enough to block modern ransomware, you may be overlooking a critical vulnerability. Ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and attackers are now bypassing perimeter defenses to target your data directly. Ransomware attacks have surged by 149% in 2025 alone, and by 2031, a ransomware attack is expected to occur every 2 seconds. Don’t wait for your organization to become another statistic.
