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.
