NetApp announced NetApp Cloud Volumes which offers customers a fully-managed, cloud-native file storage service that’s integrated with Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
This release is the first step in a partnership that combines the reach of NetApp’s data services, backed by hundreds of thousands of customers, with Google Cloud’s leadership in application development, analytics and machine learning.
In addition, NetApp introduced a high performance, cloud-connected flash system to power artificial intelligence (AI) and compute-intensive applications, as well as innovative new software to ensure superior cloud-architected infrastructure for data retention compliance.
Harnessing all the data required for effective AI applications is a challenge for traditional solutions. NetApp brings together leading public cloud data services and the most cloud connected flash solutions, through the Data Fabric, to help customers automate and monetize their data assets.
NetApp’s automated syncs, NetApp Snapshot copies and rapid clones will support free-flowing data, allowing developers to accelerate workspace creation and build cycles.
The service is ideal for the migration of any workload including file services, analytics, database, disaster recovery and DevOps. Now, customers have a simpler way to move data back and forth between on premises and the cloud.
