In a joint announcement this morning, NetApp and VMware indicated they will be expanding the companies’ longstanding global alliance. They will target three major customer-driven initiatives aimed at helping customers reduce the cost, risk, and complexity of migrating enterprise-class workloads to a multi-cloud environment.
These initiatives include:
- Cost-Effective & Seamless Migration to Multi-Cloud: NetApp and VMware are currently innovating together across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud to certify and support VMware Cloud and NetApp Cloud Services.
- Accelerate Modernized Applications Using Kubernetes/Containers: VMware Cloud Foundation with Tanzu, which allows IT to manage virtual machines and orchestrate containers from one unified platform, supports the use of NetApp ONTAP-based storage arrays, providing customers to seamlessly build out a flexible data fabric for traditional VMs and modern, containerized applications.
- Optimize The Data Center Through Modernized Infrastructure: NetApp is a VMware co-design partner with vSphere and vVols for new and expanded support of key technologies from NetApp file and block storage platforms.
