Build agility into your hybrid cloud strategy

Your wish list is long: achieve the right balance of resources on premises and in the cloud, simplify infrastructure management and monitoring, control costs, reduce risk, and protect data across your hybrid cloud or multicloud environment.

Guess what? You really can have it all—without refactoring applications, breaking workflows, or creating vendor lock-in.

Hybrid cloud use cases

Whether you want to migrate data and production applications or extend your data center to the cloud for backup and recovery, here are six ways you can make the shift to hybrid cloud today.

Data protection

Back up and restore data from your premises to the public cloud, consolidate datastores, and create disaster recovery environments in one or more public clouds.

Data compliance and governance

Store data in specific cloud locations to meet sovereignty, security, and compliance requirements. Improve data visibility and protect against ransomware.

Data tiering

Reduce real estate space, infrastructure management, and cost by automating movement of infrequently accessed “cold” data from your premises to cloud storage.

Hybrid workloads

Integrate on-premises and public cloud storage to support your enterprise apps. Reduce system administration costs, protect data, and simplify operations with unified management across your hybrid cloud.

DevOps

Speed application development with a hybrid multicloud environment so that you can release new applications faster and support continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD). No retooling required.

Cloud bursting

Temporarily move data (or clones of data) from on-premises environments to the cloud, or between clouds, for dynamic workload flexibility and data processing.

Blue Background with Clouds

Great partners make great hybrid clouds

NetApp and VMware have spent the past 20 years defining the virtualized data center, delivering the most trusted storage and virtualized infrastructure solutions around. When you combine NetApp® storage with VMware, you get the integrations and consistency you need to cost-effectively move your storage-heavy, data-intensive workloads to your choice of cloud.

Send IT roadblocks packing in the evolved cloud: NetApp has a better hybrid multicloud experience

The times they are a-changin’. In cloud’s next evolution, its benefits aren’t held back by complexity. Use the clouds you want, how you want with unified operations, built-in protection, automation to go green and save green. Bye, chaos. We won’t miss you.
