NetApp Introduces Solutions to Improve Control, Simplify Movement of Data in the Hybrid Cloud
November 01 2016 - 7:30AM
"This is the cloud portfolio we were looking for; our lives
couldn’t have been made simpler,” said Iain Rouse, group
director—Cloud, TechnologyOne. “After a flood caused a three-day
outage, we basically sat down and said, ‘Never again,’ and began
working with NetApp and AWS. They take care of some very complex
engineering on our behalf. Best of all, we consume this as a
monthly fee.”
NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP) today announced new data fabric solutions
and services that maximize control and improve the secure movement
of data across the hybrid cloud. The company also introduced new
versions of NetApp® AltaVault™, StorageGRID® Webscale, and
SnapCenter® technologies to help customers extract the value of
their data from anywhere in the hybrid cloud.
“Enterprises are broadening their vision of cloud to include
transformation of the existing applications and IT environments,
making them more scalable, extensible, and agile,” said Rick
Villars, vice president, Datacenter and Cloud, IDC. “Data
management services such as NetApp’s new data fabric solutions will
enable the effective movement and control of data within corporate
datacenters and across a growing range of cloud environments.”
New Data Fabric Solutions and ServicesAs
customers evolve their IT for the digital era, they want the
flexibility to leverage data and compute resources from anywhere.
NetApp’s new data fabric solutions and services allow customers to
control, manage, secure, and move data across on-premises and
public cloud resources to architect the IT environment that best
meets their needs. Today’s announcements include:
- Cloud Sync Service—This on-demand
software-as-a-service offering simplifies cloud service usage by
allowing users to continuously move and synchronize data between
on-premises storage and Amazon Web Services (AWS) Simple Storage
Service (S3) in the cloud. Customers gain greater visibility into
data by seamlessly leveraging AWS analytics tools with on-premises
data. They experience a lower total cost of ownership by paying
only for cloud resources when needed. Cloud Sync is currently
available through AWS Marketplace.
- NetApp Private Storage (NPS) as a
Service—NetApp is expanding the availability of NPS for
Cloud by making it available as a service through a growing partner
delivery ecosystem, including Arrow, Faction, ASE, DARZ, and
ThinkOn. This new opex-based consumption model, which leverages
colocation partners such as Equinix, enables customers to scale
cloud capacity, performance, and cost. With NetApp’s patent-pending
architecture, customers can also securely and simultaneously
connect to multiple public clouds.
- Cloud Control for Microsoft Office 365—This
SaaS offering provides a simple way to control and protect critical
data stored in Microsoft Office 365, including SharePoint Online,
OneDrive for Business, and Exchange Online. The offering also
provides support for data retention in cloud services such as
Amazon S3 and Azure as well as on-premises storage.
- Cloud Backup Solution—Adding to the existing
Data Fabric Solution for Cloud Disaster Recovery, this solution
delivers simplified end-to-end cloud backup for NetApp ONTAP®
customers using NetApp SnapMirror® technology. Through integration
with AltaVault and SnapCenter, customers can now easily assign
hybrid cloud backup targets and quickly search and recover files
from on-premises and public cloud repositories.
“As the flexibility and economy of scale in IT continue to
expand and as insights from distributed data become more critical,
the case for the hybrid cloud has never been stronger,” said Tony
Bishop, vice president, Enterprise Vertical Marketing, Equinix,
Inc. “We’re excited to team with NetApp to help enterprises
successfully deploy hybrid cloud architectures to maximize data
visibility and the performance of their enterprise
applications.”
NetApp also introduced new releases of:
- AltaVault—This cloud-integrated storage
solution speeds recovery and reduces risk, enabling customers to
securely back up data to on-premises and public clouds at up to 90%
lower cost compared to traditional on-premises solutions. The new
version includes integration with SnapMirror, which makes it easier
for customers using ONTAP to back up to AltaVault.
- StorageGRID Webscale—NetApp’s object-based
storage solution for web applications is designed for the hybrid
cloud to store and manage massive datasets in a single global
namespace. The new version offers a full solution stack integrated
and distributed by NetApp. The solution also has improved
data protection through support for Amazon S3
versioning and an enhanced user interface, including
the capability to simulate the effects of changing data storage
policies on billions of objects.
- SnapCenter—The latest release centralizes data
protection and clone management with new application plug-ins,
including the capability to create custom plug-ins for third-party
applications and databases. The release also includes an intuitive
graphical interface with predefined protection relationships and
backup policies for cloud-integrated backup, which enables
enterprises to protect more of their data across all application
environments.
- Service-Level Implementation from NetApp Professional
Services—This service bundle enables enterprises to
provide storage services to their users just like a cloud provider.
It also delivers processes and procedures that reduce the
complexity and cost of storage operations while increasing
performance.
“Building a hybrid cloud using NetApp’s data fabric solutions
and services allows customers to efficiently control and secure
their data while capitalizing on its value for maximum
business benefit,” said Phil Brotherton, vice president, Cloud
Business Unit, NetApp. “We’re partnering with the best and broadest
set of ecosystem partners to ensure customers can plan and evolve
their hybrid cloud deployments with on-premises and on-demand cloud
capabilities that fit their changing business needs.”
