Network Appliance: It's all about Vision

In 1996, Voyant Strategies recognized that Network Appliance understood that to more effectively manage corporate data, it was important to consolidate it onto one or a few devices, rather than the tens or hundreds of servers that enterprise clients were using to serve data to disparate client groups. Since then, Voyant has succesfully implemented hundreds of NetApp solutions, ranging from small business to the Fortune 1000. As NetApp's technology got broader appeal in 2000 with the addition of block-based protocols, Voyant was well positioned to take a leadership role in designing and implementing comprehensive Enterprise Storage solutions based on NetApp technology. By using NetApp's Unified Storage approach, combined with their SnapShot and SnapMirror replication techniques, Voyant's customers enjoy unparalleled data availability and disaster recovery capabilities.

NetApp offers highly available, scalable, and cost-effective storage consolidation solutions that incorporate the NetApp unified storage platform and the feature-rich functionality of data and resource management software to deliver storage that improves enterprise productivity, performance, and profitability, while providing investment protection and enhanced asset utilization. NetApp enterprise-class storage solutions are proven interoperable across all platforms and backed by our service expertise.
