NetApp and Google Cloud help customers unlock the power of data
with tightly integrated, enterprise-class data services and
solutions for Google Cloud
NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP), the data authority for hybrid cloud, and
Google Cloud (NASDAQ: GOOG, GOOGL) today 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 organizations 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 multicloud environments.
With NetApp and Google Cloud, customers can unlock the power of
their data with tightly integrated, enterprise-class data solutions
that are optimized and validated for Google Cloud.
“IDC research shows that a growing percentage of enterprise
workloads being deployed to cloud environments share a dependence
on storage performance, and increasingly prioritize tools that
enable governance, automation, and data mobility,” said Deepak
Mohan, research director, Cloud Infrastructure Services, IDC. “With
NetApp’s enterprise data services running on Google Cloud,
organizations can achieve the performance and functionality needed
to support the most intensive workloads, and immediately drive
innovation across on premises and public cloud environments.”
“We’re delighted to expand our partnership with NetApp to enable
hybrid and multicloud deployments for customers and to make
NetApp’s solutions generally available now on Google Cloud,” said
Kevin Ichhpurani, corporate vice president, Global Ecosystem at
Google Cloud. “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 multicloud
environments.
“Our mission to help our customers realize 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,” said Anthony Lye, senior vice
president and general manager, Cloud Data Services, NetApp. “With
powerful NetApp enterprise data services and solutions tightly
integrated into Google Cloud environments, organizations 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 the leading data management solution

“Impact's Partnership Cloud™, the leading partnership automation
SaaS solution, accelerates enterprise growth by bringing automation
to enterprise partnership management," said Roger Kjensurd, chief
technical officer, Impact. "Cloud Volumes Service for Google Cloud
Platform has enabled us to develop an agile and flexible
enterprise-grade platform for our customers with ease and
simplicity. In turn, this has allowed us to enable customers to
improve the full partnership lifecycle and optimize revenue.”
"We've been searching for a suitable replacement for CephFS and
to do away with the headaches of maintaining our own internal Ceph
stack,” said Aleem Shah, senior operations engineer, Prowler.io.
“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."
