Citrix & NetApp get closer

Citrix and NetApp have jointly developed a software and hardware package optimised for Citrix's ShareFile with StorageZones.

ShareFile with StorageZones is Citrix's enterprise 'dropbox' alternative and allows CIOs to place data in the organisation's own data center as opposed to in the cloud.

Enterprises can now meet data compliance and users can still access their documents and images from anywhere at any time.

By collaborating, Citrix and NetApp will help enterprises simplify and accelerate on-premise, data sharing and storage deployments.

The joint approach ensures that StorageZones works with NetApp's FAS and V-Series storage systems running its clustered Data ONTAP software.

This allows you to take advantage of features such as de-duplication and compression to decrease the amount of storage needed to host employee content.

NetApp's Snapshot technology can be used to backup and recover the data.

This should come as good news as businesses grapple to contain data in the enterprise yet make it freely available to those needing access.
