NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the intelligent data infrastructure company, today announced NetApp on-premises enterprise storage arrays for AWS Outposts, a new integrated solution that enables AWS Outposts customers to simplify the use of data volumes blocks running on NetApp on-premises enterprise storage arrays in AWS Outposts deployments directly through the Amazon Web Services (AWS) management console. AWS Outposts is a family of fully managed solutions that deliver AWS infrastructure and services to virtually any location on-premises or at the edge, providing a truly consistent hybrid experience. This solution simplifies hybrid cloud deployments by combining NetApp’s unified data storage and intelligent services with the powerful cloud infrastructure offered by AWS Outposts, helping customers optimize cloud deployments on-premises and at the edge.
“Whether customers are looking to use a hybrid cloud infrastructure to increase resiliency or improve compliance, leveraging NetApp storage on AWS Outposts can help them run applications securely and efficiently at the edge,” said Jonsi Stefansson, Vice -Senior President and Chief Technology Officer of NetApp. “This solution makes it simple for customers to use NetApp’s intelligent data infrastructure to manage their data in AWS Outposts deployments. By automating volume attachments, IT teams can now leverage the efficiency and power of NetApp on-premises storage arrays to power critical workloads.”
Customers with Outpost servers or racks can now use the AWS Management Console to simplify the use of external block data volumes for enterprise applications and database workloads running on Outposts and on-premises NetApp enterprise storage arrays . Customer benefits include:
- Simplified User Experience: With this solution, customers can attach bulk data volumes backed by NetApp on-premises enterprise storage arrays to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances on Outposts directly from the AWS management console. This simplifies the user experience by automating volume attachments.
- Resilient and optimized infrastructure: The solution enables customers to leverage NetApp’s intelligent data infrastructure capabilities, such as NetApp SnapMirror® and NetApp Snapshot™, while leveraging storage efficiencies in Outpost deployments for resilient, compliant, and optimized infrastructure.
- Seamless Hybrid Cloud: By leveraging NetApp’s unified approach to data storage, AWS Outposts users will have a seamless, certified hybrid cloud experience that uses industry-leading tools and services to manage and protect their data across Outposts deployments, on-premises zone deployments from AWS using Cloud Volumes ONTAP®, the rest from your own data centers, and the cloud using services like Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP.
Additionally, Spot by NetApp is releasing new capabilities for its automated infrastructure optimization solution for containers and Kubernetes, Spot Ocean. As organizations scale their cloud Kubernetes operations to meet growing application workload demands, they need a solution that helps them optimize their infrastructure while controlling costs. New Spot Ocean capabilities help organizations achieve these goals with a new rapid response autoscaler that ensures clusters have the infrastructure to meet workload requirements, a dynamic commitment utilization process that uses available resources before provisioning on-demand or preemptible instances, and a new dashboard that provides greater visibility and insights into cost optimization efforts and infrastructure efficiency.
To explore these new capabilities and learn how NetApp can enhance your AWS environment, visit NetApp booth #1748 at AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas, December 2-6, 2024.
