Why Multi-Hypervisor Support

Gartner Magic Quadrant

Native support for allhypervisors in leadercategory of GartnerMagic Quadrant

Support for leading opensource x86 hypervisors(KVM and Xen)

Built-in V2V conversionbetween hypervisors

Goal is to

allow users to choose/findthe right storage tier

instantly usable

Side benefit is to

standardize all cloud

storage requirement on

common NetAppinfrastructure
