Nearline Storage with NetApp NearStore
NearStore represents SATA-based storage platforms optimized for data protection and retention applications.

The NetApp® NearStore® system bridges the gap between primary storage and offline storage by providing much faster data access than offline storage at a cost much lower than primary storage. This makes NearStore ideal for data protection and retention applications such as disk-to-disk backup, disaster recovery, archival, compliant retention, and content storage.


NetApp NearStore R200
Cost-effective, fast-access storage for backup and recovery, reference data, online archival, and remote disaster recovery.

The NetApp® NearStore® R200 system is a disk-based nearline storage system that combines the powerful Data ONTAP® operating system with inexpensive ATA disk drives. This enables NearStore to provide near-primary storage performance at near-tape storage costs.

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.


NetApp NearStore Virtual Tape Library
Accelerate the backup and recovery of data without disrupting your backup environment.


The NetApp® NearStore® virtual tape library (VTL) is a disk-to-disk backup appliance that appears like a tape library to a backup software application but provides the superior speed and reliability of disk technologies. The NearStore VTL reduces management costs and dramatically improves backup and recovery performance while leveraging existing investments in infrastructure, backup software and processes.

The NearStore VTL can be used to back up any open system storage environment—including those of EMC, Hitachi, HP, and IBM—and is certified for use with leading enterprise backup software, including software from BakBone, CA, CommVault, HP, Legato, Symantec, Syncsort, and Tivoli.

Available in capacities from 4.5TB to 168TB, the NearStore VTL provides a simple, nondisruptive solution that improves the backup process for virtually any data center environment.
