NetApp has introduced new capabilities designed for strategic cloud workloads including GenAI and VMware. These enhancements to NetApp data and storage services reduce the resources and risks for customers to manage these strategic workloads across increasingly complex hybrid multi-cloud environments.
“Strategic workloads, including GenAI and virtualized environments, are driving business innovation and have increasingly complex and resource-intensive infrastructure requirements that are pushing IT teams to the limit. NetApp is helping customers take back control of their data with intelligent data infrastructure that leverages unified data storage, integrated data services, and automated cloud operations. Even when they are up against specific and nuanced technology requirements for modern workloads, NetApp gives them the tools they need to optimize and simplify their data operations in their environments across the hybrid multicloud,” said Pravjit Tiwana, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Cloud Storage, NetApp.
To advance intelligent data infrastructure deployments that better support strategic workloads like GenAI and VMware environments, NetApp is announcing new capabilities, including NetApp BlueXP Workload Factory – for AWS, NetApp GenAI Toolkit – Microsoft Azure NetApp Files Version, Amazon Bedrock with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP Reference Architecture, Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP Enhancements and NetApp BlueXP Disaster Recovery Support for VMFS.
These updates build on NetApp’s existing offerings that support storage and data operations for customers that need to implement and manage high-powered, strategic workloads such as GenAI and VMware environments. For example, NetApp recently announced that its unique BlueXP data classification capability, which automatically classifies and categorizes data for enhanced governance and secure ingest into GenAI and RAG data pipelines, has become a core control plane capability now available free of charge to all NetApp customers.
