We see our mission as creating cloud storage and data services that are as forward-thinking and easy to use as possible, and this partnership allows us to continue making this vision a reality,” said Ronen Schwartz, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Cloud Storage, NetApp.
“We’re thrilled to enhance our File Solutions portfolio by continuing our partnership with NetApp, bringing the flexibility of the cloud to our customers alongside data protection and efficiency ,” said Sameet Agarwal, Vice President and General Manager, Google Cloud Storage.
Google Cloud NetApp Volumes is based on NetApp ONTAP data management software and cloud services. Available today, the partnership enables customers to seamlessly extend their workloads into Google Cloud through an automated storage service that’s fully integrated into its service ecosystem, providing enterprise-grade storage, data protection, and business continuity across workloads.
