Features

Run enterprise apps faster and more efficiently

Google Cloud NetApp Volumes supports most on-prem applications. Seamlessly lift-and-optimize mission-critical Linux, Windows, VMware, and SAP shared file workloads. Integrate and run complex, performance-intensive, and latency-sensitive applications with up to rapid response times of 4.5GiB/sec of throughput.

Reduce cloud storage costs by up to 90%

Set automation and optimization controls that fit your business, and reduce storage needed with instant, zero-footprint snapshots and volume clones.

Meet mandates for uptime, availability, and security

Instantly restore data from in-place, near-zero-footprint snapshots or remote backup copies in the event of unplanned data loss, ransomware, or data corruption. Provide business continuity for your cloud application using cross-region replication, cloning and backups.

How It Works

IDC’s analysis found that interviewed organizations realized an average annual savings of $4.7 million and a three-year ROI of 457% from NetApp Cloud Volumes. These savings were achieved in two ways: by reducing the occurrence of unplanned outages and improving the productivity of IT teams.

Quickly recover from ransomware attacks

NetApp Volumes enables fast ransomware recovery. Easily revert any volume back to a snapshot taken before the ransomware hit. Recovery time of volume is less than one minute versus restoring from backup which can take hours.

Asynchronous replication for disaster recovery

Protect your data through cross-location volume replication, which asynchronously replicates a source volume in one location to a destination volume in a different location. This capability lets you use the replicated volume for critical application activity in case of a location-wide outage or disaster. The replicated volume can also be used as a read-only copy during normal usage.
