Evolved cloud
: A better hybrid multicloud world
Change your relationship status with cloud from “it’s complicated.” Meet the evolved cloud—a full-fledged hybrid multicloud approach where cloud steps up. No data silos, vendor lock-in, onerous operations, or overwhelming complexity. NetApp® has everything you need to get started.
What makes the evolved cloud tick?
Peace, love, interoperability, and connectivity
In an evolved cloud state, cloud is fully integrated into your architecture and operations. Data centers and clouds are united with consistent operations. Silos get busted and you can see into every nook and cranny of your environment. Everything is efficient, secure, and continuously optimized to work for you in a world of constant disruption.
Unified management plane
Abstraction enables unified operations, processes, and observability everywhere.
Common APIs, services, and open architectures
Consistency allows you to move and manage workloads, data, and resources whenever and wherever you want.
Powerful AI-driven automation
Intelligent automation handles monitoring, operations, and optimization to boost efficiency and cost savings while reducing your environmental footprint.
A whole new hybrid multicloud experience
NetApp offers the best of cloud without the hassle
In cloud’s next evolution, its benefits aren’t held back by complexity. And neither are IT teams. We help you use the clouds you want, the way you want, while optimizing for cost, risk, efficiency, and sustainability—automatically. Cross-cloud application and data consistency eliminates lock-in. No chaos, just agility, flexibility, and freedom-fueled innovation.
Unified operations, simplified experience
NetApp unifies hybrid multicloud operations, so you don’t need countless specialists for each environment. With open source, open architectures and APIs, microservices, and common capabilities and data services, you can create applications that run anywhere—without getting bogged down in complexity.
Consistency and innovation, hand in hand
In the evolved cloud, you need to move fast and constantly innovate. Doing that requires flexibility and consistency. With a common storage foundation, NetApp makes moving data and applications between environments seamless. Developers can build where they want, and applications can be deployed anywhere. We remove barriers to adopting new technologies, so innovation never skips a beat.
Protection and security, everywhere
Forget the whack-a-mole security experience. NetApp unifies monitoring, data protection, security, governance, and compliance for total cyber resilience—with consistency and automation across every environment. Sleep better knowing that data and resources are covered with built-in—versus bolted-on—protection.
Save money, automatically
There’s no room for error in balancing opex and capex or managing your cloud bill. NetApp uses AI-driven automation for continuous optimization. Applications get what they need, and data gets stored at the lowest possible cost—even stateless and stateful Kubernetes applications. No need for multiple dashboards or a PhD in public cloud billing.
Tackle sustainability with data and powerful tools
Go all-in on shrinking IT’s environmental footprint. We make it easy to move on-premises storage to inherently greener public clouds. NetApp has industry-leading tools to audit consumption, locate waste, and set guardrails to stop overprovisioning. Reduce carbon emissions and save money.
NetApp services built for the evolved cloud
Our infrastructure, data, and application services are hybrid multicloud by design to deliver a unified experience no matter what your environment looks like. And unlike walled gardens and hyperconverged platforms, they integrate with the big clouds’ rich services.
