StoreVault, A NetApp Division
There's a revolution in storage. And it's being pioneered by StoreVault, a division of NetApp. StoreVault brings to the small to medium business market the advanced storage technology that NetApp has been deploying for years in large global enterprises. You can sell StoreVault solutions with confidence because they're made and supported by NetApp, the leader in networked storage and a global company with a proven track record of excellence and success.

NetApp is entering this market because SMB customers today have major pain points around data protection and recovery, and the NetApp enterprise-proven storage technologies offer unique ways to solve these customer problems. The StoreVault S500 has integrated these technologies into an affordable solution for SMBs with a simplified management interface that allows firms to focus on growing their business instead of their growing storage. With scalability from 1TB to 6TB, the ability to combine NAS (network attached storage) and SAN (storage area network), and starting at just under $6,000, the StoreVault S500 is the ideal storage solution for your SMB customers.

  • Consolidates file and block-level storage for better storage utilization
  • Simple on-the-fly provisioning from a central pool to applications, groups or users
  • Protects against concurrent disk drive failures without paying for massive redundancy
