NetApp, a global, cloud-led, data-centric software company, announced new capabilities in NetApp BlueXP, strengthening the company’s position as an option for secure data storage.
In today’s technology landscape, data have never been more valuable or more vulnerable. Data power operations, fuel innovation and create exceptional customer experiences. As such, the impact of ever-increasing cyber threats such as ransomware attacks and potential data loss or corruption can be devastating.
Data infrastructures often span on-premises and multiple cloud environments, complicating data protection, security and compliance. Skills shortages and budget constraints further add to these challenges.
Companies need greater simplicity in data management and increased security to manage their data estates and avoid catastrophic losses.
The new capabilities available through BlueXP build on its powerful, unified experience and deliver data service capabilities that can discover, manage and protect data across the multi-cloud infrastructure, leveraging AI/ML operations for optimum business results.
The feature updates and innovations include simplified backup and recovery, data protection across more environments, and deployment in highly secured environments including government sites, with consistent operations that ensure the same experience everywhere for every application.
The NetApp BlueXP capabilities include:
- Cohesive data protection strategies across systems, locations and workloads from a single point of control
- NetApp BlueXP backup and recovery provides a single control plane that simplifies customized backup strategies on a workload-by-workload basis. Regardless of environment, any variant of the full spectrum of 3-2-1 backup strategies can be applied to workloads as they require, eliminating the need for multiple tools and specially trained resources.
- NetApp BlueXP backup and recovery capabilities are being extended to a broader range of workloads with support for application-consistent database deployments in major clouds using either NetApp software-defined or hyperscaler-native storage offerings such as Oracle databases on Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP.
- Deployment in the most secure environments:
- NetApp BlueXP private and restricted modes of deployment allow for BlueXP and associated storage and data services to be deployed in secure, compliance-sensitive environments that might include government clouds, or even “dark site” implementations requiring full isolation from internet connectivity.
- Cloud Insights Federal Edition is available for deployment in environments and workloads requiring FedRAMP high-impact level protections.
- Cloud Volumes ONTAP (CVO) is available in the AWS Marketplace for the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) – a marketplace that supportd the needs of the U.S. Intelligence Community by providing improved security, increased mission impact and cost savings.
NetApp BlueXP is the central method to manage NetApp ONTAP, NetApp’s data management software in the cloud and on-premises.
