It's not your English, it's NetApp. ;)

Netapp is a completely closed proprietary system with its own 
everything: from disk firmware to os. It's "appliance-type" filer and 
the os is incompatible with everything including its own major releases.

Their main selling point is working at the level of disk blocks, which 
makes for very efficient use of storage space, snapshots, replication, etc.

On second thought, their shiny! deduplicated block-level storage would 
probably not transfer to tape very well anyway, so there wouldn't be 
much advantage to creating a native netapp client.
