Introducing NetApp Rapid Clone Utility 3.0 (Part 1 & 2)
In this series of articles, we will be looking at the new generation of VMware vSphere 4 plug-ins that make it increasingly easier to see your storage from the vCenter/vSphere client. In addition, you will learn how the NetApp Rapid Cloning Utility is not just a virtual machine (VM) copying tool, but also allows you to quickly and easily create and mount new data stores without needing access to the storage management tools.
This is a must-read series for VMware admins who maintain and manage their own storage, and for storage admins who want to offload the burden of provisioning new storage to their VMware guys.

You might want to point out that this product requires a NetApp user to also have Flexcone. Not something that everone has.

Flexclone is only required for VM cloning. Datastore provisioning and management doesn’t require anything special. Of course FAS Dedup is required to use deduplication, however that is a free license.
