NetApp and Google Cloud deepen strategic partnership
NetApp and Google Cloud have announced the general availability of NetApp Cloud Volumes Service, NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP for Google Cloud, and support for Anthos on NetApp HCI to help organisations focus on innovation across any hybrid environments.
As enterprises seek to take advantage of the agility and efficiency benefits of the cloud, they need to know that their data is secure and in the right place, for the right cost, at scale.
To achieve these goals, they are building data fabrics that provide maximum flexibility as they move to hybrid multi-cloud environments.
“IDC research shows that a growing percentage of enterprise workloads being deployed to cloud environments share a dependence on storage performance, and increasingly prioritise tools that enable governance, automation, and data mobility,” says IDC cloud infrastructure research director Deepak Mohan.
“With NetApp’s enterprise data services running on Google Cloud, organisations can achieve the performance and functionality needed to support the most intensive workloads, and immediately drive innovation across on-premises and public cloud environments.”
With NetApp and Google Cloud, customers can unlock the power of their data with tightly integrated, enterprise-class data solutions that are optimised and validated for Google Cloud.
“We’re delighted to expand our partnership with NetApp to enable hybrid and multi-cloud deployments for customers and to make NetApp’s solutions generally available now on Google Cloud,” says Google Cloud global ecosystem corporate vice president Kevin Ichhpurani.
“In addition, customers now have the option to deploy Anthos on NetApp’s validated HCI, providing customers more choice in the on-premises hardware solutions on which they can run Anthos.”
NetApp’s data services and solutions help customers effectively manage their transition from on-premises to hybrid and multi-cloud environments
“Our mission to help our customers realise the promise of the public cloud and enable them to drive innovation and business outcomes with cloud aligns with the approach Google Cloud is pursuing on-premises and off,” adds NetApp senior vice president and cloud data services general manager Anthony Lye.
“With powerful NetApp enterprise data services and solutions tightly integrated into Google Cloud environments, organisations can achieve advanced data management and unprecedented performance to truly take advantage of Google Cloud’s innovative leadership in application development, analytics, and machine learning.”
Today’s announcements include the following new services and solutions.
NetApp Cloud Volumes Service and Cloud Volumes ONTAP for Google Cloud are now generally available
NetApp Cloud Volumes Service for Google Cloud is a cloud-native, Google Cloud integrated file service with the performance, availability, and security required to efficiently run business-critical applications.
Additionally, customers can now confidently run production workloads in Google Cloud. Cloud Volumes Service for Google Cloud is also now available in the United Kingdom region.
Also, now globally generally available, NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP for Google Cloud is a data management solution that accelerates the enterprise cloud journey by bringing enhanced data protection, storage efficiencies, and mobility to Google Cloud and hybrid multi-cloud environments.
"We've been searching for a suitable replacement for CephFS and to do away with the headaches of maintaining our own internal Ceph stack,” says Prowler.io senior operations engineer Aleem Shah.
“We tried many alternatives, with NetApp Cloud Volumes Service coming out on top in terms of its ever-expanding feature set, reliability, and pricing. The service support provided by NetApp was unmatched in all categories."
Introducing NetApp HCI for Google Cloud Anthos
NetApp HCI is a scalable, on-premises hybrid cloud infrastructure that transforms private clouds into a deployable region of a multi-cloud.
NetApp HCI is now validated to work with Google Cloud’s Anthos, giving customers the peace of mind of a true enterprise-class platform validated with Anthos to reliably deploy and run their applications.
