An extension of your IT team. Specialized know-how for storage deployments, data-center planning, and operational optimization — especially where 25% of orgs lack the in-house skills.

Consulting Services

Rapid POC Program

Production-ready RAG and cloud POCs deployed in days, not months. We handle the security, compliance, and data transport so you see time-to-value fast.

AI POC blueprint

Turnkey Validated Architectures

Certified, ready-to-run stacks like FlexPod AI and NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD. We eliminate design complexity and integration guesswork.

FlexPod AI

Managed Storage Services

Capacity, health, and performance — managed by us on the Keystone STaaS foundation. You focus on the business; we run the storage.

BACKED BY GUARANTEES

Five NetApp guarantees, operationalized by SANDataWorks

Real, contractually-backed commitments — not marketing claims. Each one is engineered into the architecture we deploy.

  • Ransomware Recovery GuaranteeCompensation if SnapLock-protected snapshots cannot be recovered after a ransomware attack. Backed by validated configuration to STIG, NIST, and FIPS standards.
  • 99.9999% Six Nines Data Availability GuaranteeContinuous availability for business-critical workloads on NetApp AFF and ASA, achieved through MetroCluster and SnapMirror active-sync.
  • 99.999% Keystone STaaS Uptime SLAConsumption-priced service-level commitment with service credits if targets are missed. Predictable performance for file, block, object, and AI workloads.
  • 4:1 Storage Efficiency GuaranteeInline deduplication, compression, and compaction delivering a real 4:1 effective-to-raw ratio on ASA + ONTAP One in production environments.
  • ESG Sustainability GuaranteeStandard watts-per-TB targets aligned to corporate ESG mandates, with service credits if missed. Up to 70% lower power consumption than competitive systems.
AI-ready data infrastructure
RAPID POC PROGRAM

AI POCs in days, not months.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What enterprise IT buyers actually ask

The pain-point questions our specialists answer every day — in the same words you'd type into a search bar or ask a chatbot.

NetApp Data Classification (BlueXP) is an AI-driven tool that scans your entire data estate using natural-language processing to automatically map and categorize Personally Identifiable Information (PII) across on-premises and public cloud — keeping you compliant with GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA. SANDataWorks deploys it across your hybrid environment and configures the policy guardrails.

Legacy storage cannot keep up with modern GPUs. Deploy high-performance all-flash architectures — NetApp AFF A-Series and NetApp AFX — delivering up to 300 GB/s of read throughput and sub-1ms latency per NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD cluster. SANDataWorks integrates these as turnkey NetApp AIPod stacks so expensive compute stays fully utilized during training and inferencing.

Successful production GenAI starts with unified, governed data. SANDataWorks deploys NetApp Data Classification to automatically remove duplicate, stale, or PII-bearing data, and the NetApp AI Data Engine to provide real-time vectorization at the storage layer. The NetApp GenAI Toolkit then securely combines public foundation models with your private data for accurate Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

NetApp Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP/AI) detects malicious encryption with 99% accuracy at primary storage and automatically takes an immutable Snapshot. SnapLock Compliance volumes and Cyber Vaulting create logical air-gaps that compromised administrators cannot delete. The NetApp Ransomware Recovery Guarantee provides financial compensation if Snapshot data cannot be restored — operationalized by SANDataWorks experts.

Use first-party native integrations — Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, Azure NetApp Files, and Google Cloud NetApp Volumes — that preserve protocols (NFS, SMB, iSCSI, NVMe/TCP) and management tools so your applications never know they moved. SANDataWorks uses NetApp Workload Factory to automate the migration, eliminating up to 90% of manual configuration errors and reducing planning from days to hours.

Adopt NetApp Keystone Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) — a consumption-based, pay-as-you-go OPEX model that eliminates the guesswork of capacity planning. SANDataWorks delivers Keystone as a fully managed service so you pay only for storage you actually use, on a monthly basis, backed by a 99.999% uptime SLA with service credits if missed.

NetApp Data Infrastructure Insights is a SaaS-based observability tool that delivers granular chargeback and showback reporting across multi-cloud and on-premises storage. SANDataWorks configures the FinOps dashboards so finance and IT collaborate from the same numbers, attributing exact storage consumption to specific applications, departments, or service levels.
