Highly efficient block-level, incremental-forever NetApp Snapshot™ copies reduce your storage, networking, and costs.

Lower risk

Less disruption, faster recovery

Running a VMware environment at the recovery target means less disruption when disaster strikes.
Thousands of NetApp customers trust SnapMirror to provide timely and successful recovery.
Testing failover is easy and nondisruptive.

High performance

Faster replication and updates:

SnapMirror speeds up the replication process with efficient deduplication, compression, and compaction storage.
Snapshot copies are incremental forever.
Block-level replication updates your DR copy faster because it updates only changed data in 4KB blocks, not entire files.
