NETAPP INSIGHT — NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP), the data
authority in a hybrid cloud world, today announced that it has
further enhanced the company’s Data Fabric, already an integral
part of over 300,000 systems and software deployments. The Data
Fabric is strengthened with new software releases, including for
NetApp® SolidFire® Element® OS, StorageGRID® Webscale, ONTAP®, and
OnCommand® Insight software. As key elements to the NetApp Data
Fabric, these solutions deliver consistent and integrated hybrid
cloud data services to help customers accelerate and protect data,
reduce costs, and easily build next-generation data center
architectures.
“Proliferating application deployment models and data formats
across hybrid IT results in organizational data being distributed
across on-premises and cloud environments,” said Laura DuBois,
IDC group vice president, Enterprise Storage, Server and
Infrastructure Software. “This creates challenges for IT staff that
range from data access and visibility, to protection and
application integration, to security and compliance, to
labor-intensive processes for data placement. The NetApp Data
Fabric offers a range of hybrid cloud data services to address
these challenges and allow organizations to efficiently manage and
derive value from the totality of their data.”
Companies understand the need to become data-centric
organizations to drive business value and to enable new customer
touchpoints through technology. As a result, IT leaders are under
tremendous pressure to transform, but they are required to
accomplish this transformation with limited time, skills, and
budget. The NetApp Data Fabric offers a holistic approach that is
secure, efficient, and future-proof and that provides freedom of
choice.
“At TechnologyOne, we’ve transformed through a pioneering cloud
strategy that touches more than 1 million students, manages
billions of dollars in assets and infrastructure, and brings
hundreds of local governments into the digital age,” said Iain
Rouse, Group Director - Cloud, TechnologyOne. “NetApp helps us stay
one step ahead of the tremendous data growth we experience as our
customer base doubles each year. Together with NetApp, we have
built a secure, reliable cloud in AWS, enabling organizations to
move at the speed of their customers.”
“As customers adopt cloud capabilities as part of their digital
transformation, the need for managing data across traditional IT
and multiple cloud solutions becomes critical,” said Brett Roscoe,
vice president, Product, Solutions and Services Marketing at
NetApp. “The dramatic increase in data centric workloads in
the cloud is why the NetApp Data Fabric has become an important
enabler of business transformation to create new customer
touchpoints, new business opportunities, and greater
efficiencies.”
Build a
Next-Generation
Data Center Cloud Architecture with Data
Fabric
NetApp SolidFire Element OS 10 and StorageGRID Webscale 11
simplify the creation of a next-generation data center cloud
architecture, extending the Data Fabric to unleash the full
potential of data across all NetApp environments.
NetApp SolidFire:
- Provides Data Fabric integration across operating
systems. New NetApp SnapMirror® integration supports data
movement from Element OS systems to ONTAP systems across the Data
Fabric. Remote data is available for disaster protection and
recovery and for other use cases, such as development, analytics,
or centralized archiving.
- Helps customers align business goals to IT service
levels. With SolidFire Element OS,
companies can consume agile, software-defined storage in a way that
best aligns with their business goals. Whether it’s with SolidFire
all-flash arrays, FlexPod® SF, or NetApp HCI, Element OS enables
customers to transform operations through on-demand scaling,
API-driven automation, and guaranteed performance. New user-defined
quality-of-service (QoS) policies further simplify management of
guaranteed performance in rapidly evolving private clouds.
NetApp HCI:
- Offers high performance, scale, and cost
savings. The world’s first enterprise-scale hyper
converged infrastructure (HCI) solution will be generally available
in October 2017. Built on SolidFire innovation, NetApp HCI gives
enterprises, midsize businesses, and service providers the
confidence to easily consolidate all workloads and to scale in ways
that won’t strand resources. They can also deliver the performance
that next-generation data center applications require.
StorageGRID Webscale 11:
- Empowers users. Tight integration with Amazon
Web Services (AWS) enables easy implementation of hybrid cloud data
pipelines with AWS. Customers can instantly mirror on-premises data
with Amazon S3 by using StorageGRID Webscale CloudMirror
technology.
- Increases efficiency. Companies can leverage
serverless computing through notifications for data services such
as Amazon Elastic MapReduce, Rekognition, and Elasticsearch—even
with on-premises storage.
Modernize Storage Through
Data Management with Data
Fabric
NetApp ONTAP 9.3 software helps companies modernize storage
through data management with faster, simpler, and more secure
software across the Data Fabric.
NetApp ONTAP 9.3 software:
- Enhances performance.
Performance assurance is easier with Adaptive QoS, which simplifies
setup with streamlined application of QoS policies and
automatically adapts QoS levels to changes in the workload. With
software optimizations and path parallelization to deliver more
IOPS and lower latency, ONTAP 9.3 offers 40% increased performance
over earlier versions. This builds on a recent, world-record
performance benchmark in which ONTAP 9 achieved top performance for
SPEC SFS®2014_swbuild.
- Creates efficiencies and saves money. By
optimizing deduplication, ONTAP 9.3 can help companies increase
capacity savings by 30%. This improved ONTAP efficiency has been
incorporated into the NetApp All-Flash Capacity Guarantee, which
provides assurance that customers will achieve workload-specific
capacity savings or NetApp will make up the difference.
- Enhances security and compliance. ONTAP 9.3
offers stronger security and new compliance capabilities with
external key management for NetApp Volume Encryption and
multifactor authentication. Users can also apply compliance
policies for legal holds and event-based retention.
Harness the Power of the Hybrid Cloud with Data
Fabric
OnCommand Insight with new cloud cost monitoring provides a
complete picture of an organization’s IT infrastructure, regardless
of where it resides, on the premises or in the cloud. This
comprehensive view helps companies harness the power of the hybrid
cloud by using Data Fabric.
With OnCommand Insight cloud cost-monitoring capabilities,
companies can:
- Monitor. Gain visibility of their cloud
spending across departments, lines of business, and
applications.
- Control. Control, improve, and enforce cloud
spending behavior across the organization.
- Optimize. Lower costs by leveraging the most
efficient vendor pricing structure.
