NetApp launches Oregon data center


NetApp launched its new data center in Hillsboro. The data center will house IT infrastructure for the storage vendor’s customer support monitoring and corporate IT services. NetApp designed the facility together with Digital Realty Trust, a global San Francisco-based developer and provider of wholesale data center space.



The data center is part of NetApp’s efforts to modernize its IT infrastructure. Key tenets of this transformation are automatic provisioning and optimization of storage resources, 100% data accessibility and seamless storage-resource scaling capabilities. Describing the infrastructure, NetApp CIO Cynthia Stoddard said, To achieve the growth objectives we have, we need to enable an environment where the data is essentially immortal. it is always available never having to worry about scheduled downtime or gaps in our ability to support our customers. NetApp installed its own storage clusters at the facility using its Data OnTap operating system. The hardware is NetApp FAS6200 arrays providing about 1.5PB of clustered storage total.
