NetApp Revolutionizes Data Fabric to Dominate Hybrid Multicloud
TOKYO, June 28, 2019/PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

Company gives customers the freedom to choose any cloud with one experience


NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP), the data authority for hybrid cloud, today announced new 
solutions and services that allow customers to adopt and consume cloud on their 
terms. With today's announcement, NetApp is delivering a truly seamless hybrid 
multicloud experience that includes availability of NetApp(R) Cloud Data 
Services on NetApp HCI, the ability to expand with persistent storage across 
the biggest public clouds, and the ability for customers to manage, use, and 
pay for cloud services the way they want to. 

The public cloud has created a new standard for IT that all industry leaders 
must match to provide the experience that users enjoy in the cloud and now 
demand on their premises. To be successful, organizations must fuel data-driven 
innovation by leveraging the cloud and modernizing their IT, bringing the power 
of the cloud to every part of their business through a seamless hybrid 
multicloud experience. Only NetApp, with its data fabric strategy, has what 
customers need to build a unique data fabric designed for their business--in 
any cloud, in one experience. 

"NetApp's data fabric offerings enable enterprises to seamlessly manage data 
across a multitude of IT infrastructures, covering on premises and multiple 
public cloud service platforms," said Deepak Mohan, research director, 
Infrastructure Systems, Platforms and Technologies, IDC. "IDC research shows 
that the gap between businesses that embrace data and those that do not has 
dramatically widened over the past 3 years. As the c-suite increasingly 
prioritizes data as a strategic asset, NetApp's new multi-platform offerings 
empowers IT organizations with the flexibility and consistency needed to 
maximize the value potential of their data."

"Overall speed and flexibility between on-premises and cloud environments has 
been key to our adoption of NetApp's tech and Data Fabric strategy," said 
Konstantin Kostenarov, Ducati CTO. "As Ducati becomes a lifestyle brand and 
further expands our business across the world, our approach to data informs 
everything from strategy on the racetrack to how we design our products and 
engage with customers. NetApp is leading the charge in hybrid multicloud, and 
they are one of the best partners we trust to keep up as Ducati transforms on 
and off the racetrack."

"The way organizations invest in and consume IT resources continues to 
evolve--hybrid multicloud is clearly now the de facto IT architecture," said 
NetApp CEO George Kurian. "This is a reality that NetApp has been preparing for 
many years with our Data Fabric strategy. Our close partnerships with major 
public cloud providers, historical leadership in storage and data management, 
and groundbreaking approach to creating hybrid multicloud environments with 
Kubernetes and advanced data services represent an important milestone. It is 
an exciting foundation for our customers to drive IT transformation today and 
for further innovation in the years to come."

Bring the public cloud experience on the premises to free developers to build 
anywhere

NetApp offers users a true hybrid multicloud experience with a consistent 
service consumption model across public clouds and on the premises. Now, 
customers can simplify effective infrastructure-as-a-service delivery on the 
premises and deliver new services and applications faster with NetApp Cloud 
Data Services on NetApp HCI, including: 

--NetApp Kubernetes Service on NetApp HCI. Provides an automated Kubernetes 
deployment engine, Application Marketplace, and Application Orchestration, now 
with NetApp HCI as a deployable region. Customers can meet the demands of the 
business by automating management complexities and without sacrificing 
performance for scale limits, freeing developers to move from idea to 
deployment in record time. 
--Cloud Volumes on NetApp HCI. High-performance persistent storage, delivered 
through a streamlined and simplified user experience, in all major public 
clouds, now extended on the premises with NetApp HCI. Now, customers can
