Combined solutions accelerate VMware workloads and make it easy
to run applications in any environment
NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP), the data authority for hybrid cloud,
today announced new combined solutions for VMware platforms that
offer simplified, scalable, high-performance infrastructure for any
cloud. Showcased at VMworld 2019 in San Francisco, the company
debuted a new virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solution,
NetApp® HCI for VDI with VMware Horizon 7. The company also
announced the availability of NetApp Kubernetes Service (NKS) and
NetApp HCI Implementation Services for VMware Private Cloud, all
designed to accelerate VMware workloads and make it easy for
customers to run their applications where they want.
VMware administrators who create, deploy, maintain, and optimize
a network and server infrastructure are increasingly challenged to
meet the high expectations of the business for scalability,
agility, affordability, and performance. Achieving the ideal
infrastructure often comes at a high cost when IT is forced to make
tradeoffs between simplicity, scalability, and performance. With
these new solutions from NetApp, VMware admins can efficiently
manage and monitor their environments, scale up or down as
required, and secure and protect their data wherever it
resides.
“In today’s data-driven world, faster, simpler access to
applications and data is critical to business success,” said Brett
Roscoe, vice president, Product Management, NetApp Cloud
Infrastructure Business Unit. “As a result of our ongoing
partnership with VMware, we offer breakthrough management solutions
for virtual infrastructure, private cloud, public cloud, and
desktop virtualization—in any cloud, in one experience—that offer
superb simplicity for high-performance, complex environments.”
NetApp’s new solutions for VMware include:
- NetApp Kubernetes Service (NKS) on VMware. NKS now
supports a fully managed Kubernetes service on VMware vSphere, no
matter where the VMware infrastructure is being run. NKS eliminates
and reduces the complexity of deploying and managing on-premises
Kubernetes clusters and their application workload, delivering
enterprise capabilities such as in-place upgrades, role-based
access control (RBAC), application lifecycle management, multicloud
and hybrid-cloud configurations, and Istio service mesh automation
– all backed by NetApp’s Enterprise SLA.
- NetApp HCI for VDI. The NetApp HCI portfolio now
includes simple, GPU-enabled nodes to accelerate high-performance,
3D virtual desktop infrastructure environments. The new offerings
dramatically improve performance for power users who use
complicated, data-intensive applications like medical imaging,
CAD/CAM, and other technical and scientific applications that
require special attention to run effectively in virtualized desktop
environments:
- The new NetApp HCI for VDI with VMware Horizon 7
solution supports all major third-party VDI solutions with VMware
Horizon. Customers can easily install, expand, and upgrade
capabilities while adding storage and compute independently.
- The new H615C compute node is the latest version of our
expanding GPU portfolio for high-performance technical and
scientific apps. It offers guaranteed performance levels and can be
provisioned by discrete workload.
- NetApp HCI Implementation Service for VMware Private
Cloud. Implement an integrated solution for accelerating the
deployment of a private cloud platform to meet business needs today
and easily scale for the future. NetApp’s new turnkey acquisition
and implementation service delivers the expertise to build a
scalable, preconfigured, and easily consumable private cloud – with
the simplicity and convenience of NetApp HCI and the power of a
VMware-based private cloud – that is application ready for critical
workloads. By aligning the technical platform with required cloud
business outcomes, NetApp can help accelerate the deployment of a
VMware-based private cloud so that organizations can be confident
that the new platform can scale easily and rapidly.
