NetApp ONTAP Cloud for Amazon Web Services
Extending Enterprise Storage To The Cloud

Overview:

NetApp ONTAP Cloud for Amazon Web Services (formerly Cloud ONTAP) is a software-only storage service, offering superior Data Management for Business Continuity, Cloud Applications and DevOps. Our hybrid approach means that your IT, DevOps and Developer teams can now seamlessly control data across both on-premise enterprise systems and cloud environments, all from a single solution.

Manage and maintain control of your cloud data without disruption.
Pay only for what you use, when you use it.

Get the same data access and control in the cloud as in your data center. The NetApp ONTAP Cloud for Amazon Web Services (AWS)—formerly Cloud ONTAP—data storage service blends seamless control with cloud flexibility.

Built on NetApp ONTAP 9, the #1 branded storage operating system*, software-only ONTAP Cloud delivers enterprise-class data storage management in the cloud with nondisruptive, high-availability operation.

• Get the right fit. Select from multiple performance and capacity options—cloud-based disaster recovery to production workloads—to meet your storage requirements.
• Respond to changing demands. NetApp integrated data replication technologies enable dynamic movement of your data and applications throughout the data fabric—on premises and in the cloud.
• Deploy workspaces rapidly within AWS. Clone development and test workspaces in less than two minutes with NetApp FlexClone technology—without expanding your cloud storage footprint.

The complete ONTAP Cloud data management solution includes the ONTAP Cloud storage service, OnCommand Cloud Manager software, and NetApp software support.

Enterprise Applications:

Delivering Advanced Data Management for Your Application Requirements

The NetApp ONTAP  Cloud storage data management service allows you to build an enterprise storage service on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) with Elastic Block Storage (EBS) with the flexibility to pay for only what you need, when you need it. Whether you are looking to move traditional database applications or legacy NAS applications to the cloud, ONTAP Cloud provides data management that helps solve your pain points:

• Grow active dataset while minimizing your overall storage resource footprint with  ONTAP storage efficiency features
• Get advanced data protection with SnapMirror technology from data center to cloud and region-to-region replication
• Secure your data with NetApp managed data at rest encryption where you own the keys

Your data management experience on  ONTAP Cloud  is simplified through NetApp OnCommand® Cloud Manager tools. Cloud Manager gives you a single interface to manage all of your ONTAP  Cloud data storage environments. Whether it is to deploy your storage environment in minutes or to monitor your resource spend, Cloud Manager provides the management to make your cloud data experience pleasant.

ONTAP Cloud , based on the NetApp  ONTAP storage operating system, allows you to grow with your application needs. As your need for application performance outpaces what cloud storage can provide, you can simply transition to NetApp Private Storage (NPS) for Cloud. With NPS, you have the ability to go from a midrange enterprise storage system to ultra–high speed All Flash FAS storage systems, all while still having the flexibility of AWS cloud compute. NPS for Cloud also opens the door to moving larger scale applications to the cloud such as analytics and scientific computing workloads that require the highest IOPS performance, capacity, and scale.

Disaster Recovery:

Ensure Business Continuity in your IT Environment whether in a Data Center or in the Cloud

The usage-based model of cloud computing is well suited for DR, and it offers a viable alternative to on-premises solutions. Moving DR operations to the cloud reduces the required data center space and storage infrastructure, resulting in cost savings and flexibility.

Disaster recovery on the cloud with ONTAP Cloud

With ONTAP Cloud, you can easily deploy a DR environment in the cloud and target from your on-premises NetApp Data ONTAP environments.

When building your disaster recovery site in AWS, ONTAP Cloud brings you a common data platform with that of your data center enterprise environment.

• Drag & Drop
  Simple click-and-drag replication of your on-premises data to Cloud ONTAP and between cloud regions
• Fast Deployment
  A simple deployment wizard to get new cloud DR targets up and running in minutes
• Storage Control
  The ability to provision, configure, and control cloud storage for additional use after it’s in the cloud
• Efficiency
  Efficiently replicate data to and from the cloud or between regions with NetApp SnapMirror® technology
• Reduced Cost
  Get flexibility and cost savings by paying for your DR applications only in the event of site or system failure
• Regulatory Compliance
  Spin up your DR site to test and validate the site to meet regulatory requirements
• Control
  IT can retain in the cloud the same control and security that are required on the premises
• Broad Management
  A view of Cloud ONTAP resource costs that also integrates with OnCommand Insight for a complete hybrid cloud view of resources

DevOps:

Automate Your Development and Test Environment with Advanced Data Management Capabilities, Increased Performance and Elasticity.

When building out a development or test environment, flexibility of resource utilization is at the core of why the cloud has fast became the top choice.

With NetApp  ONTAP Cloud, you can take advantage of the flexibility of AWS compute and storage resources while also gaining enterprise-class features that both minimize the resources used and enhance your ability to scale.

DevOps Efficiency on the Cloud

Efficient Cloning
With FlexClone technology within ONTAP Cloud , you can create your golden image and deploy all your working environments off clones without growing the footprint of your storage. Along with the storage resource efficiency, each of these clones can be created instantaneously, allowing you to rapidly build out hundreds of environments in minutes, whereas in traditional solutions it could take weeks.

SQL Database Applications on the Cloud

Reduce the cost and complexity deploying your SQL based applications in the cloud with ONTAP Cloud for AWS.

• Cost Efficiencies
  Minimize your cloud storage footprint with compression, data deduplication and thin provisioning.
• Performance
  Not hindered by storage capacity, on premise restrictions and load management, your databases on the cloud can perform at increased speed levels.
• Automation
  Your database cloud configuration can be automated using Simple REST API for storage operations or a CloudFormation template.
• Data Protection
  Data snapshots allow simple recovery from data corruption. Moreover, data snapshots are storage efficient, fast and assure data integrity.
• Data Management
  Use advanced data management capabilities with enterprise-class clustered Data ONTAP features such as data deduplication, thin provisioning, FlexClone copies, SnapMirror, and SnapManager
• Enterprise DR Readiness
  Use SnapMirror replication from an on-premises data center or between AWS regions because storage replication does not affect database performance.
• Consistency
  Get application consistent data backups with SnapManager for SQL and seamless migration to and from your existing infrastructure.
• QA Support
  Attain a well suited database to support QA as FlexClone copies allow for storage-efficient and quick data copies, and APIs allow for streamlining testing automation.
