StoreVault™, A NetApp Division, was formed to focus specifically on the Small-to-Medium sized business (SMB) market segment. StoreVault is also the name of the new line of network storage solutions tailored for SMB customers and a new SMB channel partner program, the StoreVault Partner Program.

Entry into the SMB market is strategic for NetApp; with introduction of StoreVault, NetApp now addresses a wide range of customers and needs, from high-end enterprise to the midrange and now SMB. NetApp is entering this market because SMB customers today have major pain points around data protection and recovery, and the NetApp enterprise-proven storage technologies offer unique ways to solve these customer problems. The StoreVault S500 has integrated these technologies into an affordable solution for SMBs with a simplified management interface that allows firms to focus on growing their business instead of their growing storage.
