This growth, driven by NetApp’s ONTAP data management software, which provides high-performance shared storage solutions for file and block workloads, has propelled the native integration of NetApp’s cloud file services into each of the major public clouds.
“The three largest public clouds in the world are choosing NetApp because customers are choosing ONTAP,” said Anthony Lye, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Public Cloud Services at NetApp. “Our strategy has positioned ONTAP as the native shared storage solution with rich data services inside the three public clouds. Now, our public cloud partners provide customers with the simplest path to the cloud and allow them to derive the most value from their data and applications.”
