Unlock the best of cloud
We were asked by the top three hyperscalers—Amazon, Microsoft, and Google—to build data management and storage solutions in their clouds because of our success, reliability, and uptime.
AWS
Take AWS from enterprise-grade to enterprise-great. Get cloud agility and scalability with performance, high availability, and data protection that you’d expect in the data center.
Microsoft Azure
Tackle complexities and manage your data anywhere. NetApp technology gives you world-class data management with the performance, simplicity, and cost savings you need to migrate your most challenging workloads to Azure.
Google Cloud
Get agility, scalability, and security in Google Cloud—precisely what your digital transformation needs. Simplify for critical workloads and use Google's advanced analytics capabilities to solve your toughest challenges.
We need both on prem and cloud to give us the flexibility with capacity and compute capability where we need it. NetApp was the obvious choice for helping us build a race fabric to be competitive.
