Network Appliance V-Series (formerly gFiler)
for Heterogeneous Storage Environments
Industry's Most Comprehensive and Only Virtualization
Solution to Unify NAS, SAN, and IP SAN under a Common Architecture
The NetApp V-Series family, an evolution
of the NetApp enterprise gFiler product line, is a network-based
solution that virtualizes tiered, heterogeneous storage
arrays, allowing you to leverage the dynamic virtualization
capabilities delivered in Data ONTAP 7G software across
your existing Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure to support
an expanded set of business applications.
Like all NetApp storage appliances, the V-Series product line
is based on the industry-tested Data ONTAP microkernel operating
system, which unifies block (FCP
or iSCSI)
and file (NAS)
storage networking paradigms under a common architecture and
provides a complete suite of NetApp advanced data management
capabilities for consolidating, protecting, and recovering
mission-critical data for enterprise applications and users.
The NetApp V-Series product line offers the performance and
capacity to meet access requirements for enterprises of all
sizes. V-Series systems deliver industry-leading performance
and terabytes of managed capacity. V-Series systems can be
configured for simultaneous active/active access with secure
failover across two independent systems in a cluster.
