 "NetApp Outlines Strategy To Deliver Seamless Cloud Data Mgmt")
NetApp has outlined its vision for seamless data management across any blend of private and public clouds. Its vision centres on three strategic pillars:
The formation of a universal data platform with NetApp Data ONTAP that removes the control challenges of managing discrete cloud resources. Data ONTAP builds on 20 years of innovation to provide customers with a common cloud data fabric and seamlessly connect cloud resources. NetApp will further integrate its software into existing and forthcoming private cloud, large-scale public cloud, and hyperscale cloud service provider solutions to help organidations optimise IT delivery and harness the speed, flexibility, and economics of the public cloud.
The introduction of new technology for dynamic data portability across cloud resources, whether on or off premises. NetApp will leverage its universal data container to make it easier to move data and workloads across instances of Data ONTAP in a multicloud environment, boosting IT efficiency and enabling new, and innovative hybrid cloud architectures.
NetApp will continue to deliver solutions that support extensive customer choice enabling companies to adopt the right solutions for their business. With the broadest ecosystem of cloud providers, application, and technology partner options, NetApp meets the demands of diverse customer needs. NetApp and its global partners, in the coming months, will announce new solutions that accelerate the transition to hybrid cloud architectures. These announcements will include deeper integrations for business applications in the cloud, new converged infrastructure reference architectures, secure cloud backup, and disaster recovery solutions.
Jay Kidd, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, NetApp said, “Regardless of the ultimate computing destination, the CIO will maintain ownership of the organisation’s data. The introduction of new multicloud architectures makes data governance more complex because data is distributed, and not under direct control. Our vision is to create an enterprise data management solution, with the clustered Data ONTAP operating system at its core, which will span the customers’ data storage landscape, irrespective of data type or location.”
