NearStore perfectly complements and dramatically improves existing tape backup, archiving, and data protection schemes by inserting economical and simple-to-use disk-based storage between application storage and tape libraries in a three-tier storage architecture. NearStore further enhances data protection and management by consolidating nearline workload data from both NetApp systems and other storage devices.


The NearStore R200 system scales from 8TB to 96TB and offers value to both small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and global enterprise customers looking to implement or enhance their storage infrastructures.
