NetApp and Google Cloud Introduce Managed Storage Service
NetApp, a global, cloud-led, data-centric software company, announced an
extension of its partnership with Google Cloud to deliver new levels of storage
performance combined with the simplicity and the flexibility of the cloud. With
the introduction of Google Cloud NetApp Volumes - now available as a
fully-managed, first-party service on Google Cloud - customers can seamlessly
bring business-critical workloads across both Windows and Linux environments to
Google Cloud, even for the most demanding use cases like VMware and SAP
migrations—all without refactoring code or redesigning processes.
"NetApp's innovative offering with Google Cloud sets the standard
for enterprise-class features in public cloud file storage, establishing a
benchmark for the industry,” said Dave McCarthy, Research Vice President, Cloud
and Edge Infrastructure Services at IDC. “The recognition of NetApp's name
alongside the cloud provider in this first party service underscores its
commitment to driving cutting-edge cloud storage solutions that address
customer and market challenges."
Google Cloud NetApp Volumes is based on NetApp ONTAP™ data management
software and cloud services. Available today, the partnership enables customers
to seamlessly extend their workloads into Google Cloud through an automated
storage service that’s fully integrated into its service ecosystem, providing
enterprise-grade storage, data protection, and business continuity across
workloads.
“By extending our collaboration with Google Cloud, NetApp is putting
ONTAP storage and data management capabilities into the hands of Google Cloud
customers as a first-party service, making it simple to use enterprise-grade
storage in their critical workloads, optimize file storage and support Windows,
Linux, SAP and VMware workloads,” said Ronen Schwartz, Senior Vice President
and General Manager, Cloud Storage at NetApp. “We see our mission as creating
cloud storage and data services that are as forward-thinking and easy to use as
possible, and this partnership allows us to continue making this vision a
reality.”
“Today’s announcement extends our ability to deliver first-party storage
and enterprise data management services so organizations can rapidly deploy,
run, protect, and scale enterprise workloads with the familiar tools and
interface of Google Cloud,” said Sameet Agarwal, Vice President and General
Manager, Google Cloud Storage. “We’re thrilled to enhance our File Solutions
portfolio by continuing our partnership with NetApp, bringing the flexibility
of the cloud to our customers alongside data protection and efficiency.”
