NetApp Unveils NetApp Private Storage For AWS

NetApp has unveiled NetApp Private Storage for AWS – an enterprise storage solution that utilises AWS Direct Connect to provide customers the ability to establish a dedicated network connection from their existing infrastructure to Amazon Web Services (AWS).

With this offering, organisations can now replicate data from on-premise NetApp®storage environments to NetApp Private Storage in an AWS Direct Connect facility to leverage on-demand cloud services. NetApp Private Storage for AWS allows enterprises to build an agile cloud infrastructure that balances internal datacenter resources along with AWS cloud resources to best meet their business needs.

Organisations can leverage NetApp Private Storage along with Amazon Elastic Map Reduce (EMR) to accomplish big data analysis at a fraction of the cost of running on premise

The solution enables to deploy cost-effective disaster recovery by leveraging Amazon EC2 in failover scenarios; leverage tiered disk backup and recovery using Amazon S3 as a more reliable alternate to a tape archive and easily move traditional enterprise applications to the cloud and seamlessly move data between AWS regions, increasing application redundancy.

“Our work with NetApp provides customers with the performance, security, compliance, and availability benefits of AWS with the high value enterprise offerings customers have come to expect from NetApp,” said Terry Wise, head of Worldwide Partner Ecosystem, AWS. “Together, we’re enabling more customers to use our on-demand web services with increased confidence for their critical business applications.”

We are committed to helping our customers achieve greater agility for their IT infrastructure.”
