Reducing Total Cost of Ownership for NetApp Filers With Folderscape

Overview Years ago, the terms "Server" and "File server" were almost synonymous. Centralized storage of data in the form of user-accessible folders and files was the primary function of most servers. Over time, servers have taken on a much wider set of roles - including such things as email servers, database servers, application servers, and more. As part of this transition, generalized operating systems for servers, such as Microsoft Windows, have had to be platforms for these varied tasks. As a result of taking on such a variety of tasks, such operating systems haven't been able to focus on their original function: serving files.
