Storage Efficiency and High Performance validated on Hyper-V
I'd like to share with you a nice post from Glenn Sizemore, a VMware vExpert and a technical expert in our Microsoft Business Unit. He's one of the many talented folks designing Hyper-V on NetApp solutions and architectures to run virtualized instances of Microsoft applications on Hyper-V, VMware, Citrix, etc.
Glen authored a nice post that demonstrates storage capabilities unique to NetApp that simultaneously deliver high performance and unimaginable storage savings from commodity hardware (aka low price point) while also delivering storage virtualization and integration unmatched in the industry.
Want to learn how a 1TB VHD (Hyper-V virtual disk) can be cloned 256 times in seconds, without consuming any additional storage on LUNs formatted with NTFS Cluster Shared Volumes? if so, read on...
Glenn's post is another example why NetApp is the fastest growing storage vendor in the storage industry and in the cloud market. Our ability to drive down infrastructure and operational costs through advancing the performance, resiliency, and integration of commodity priced disk is separating NetApp from the pact in the minds of those looking to advance their cloud initiatives.
Storage isn't just about spinning tin! Hope you enjoy Glen's post!
