Market Leader
Proclaimed market leader by top analysts—Gartner, GigaOm, and IDC—NetApp is the choice for block and file storage in hybrid and cloud-first environments.
The Problem
Hybrid Cloud Strategy Challenges
About 87% of enterprises have a hybrid cloud strategy. If you're in that camp, you're actively working to build a cloud-based infrastructure that can support your ever-growing hybrid and cloud-native workloads. You require a data platform that provides the scale, performance, and manageability demanded by your mission-critical applications. You need to maintain compliancy, security, and accessibility as your business (and data footprint) grows. And you're under pressure to shrink your carbon footprint without shrinking profit margins. In other words, you could really use a complete data solution in Google Cloud.
The Opportunity
Industry-Leading Block and File Storage
NetApp ONTAP delivers industry-leading block and file storage with multiprotocol support for Windows and Linux: everything needed to migrate your storage-heavy applications, databases, and DevOps environments to the cloud. You can natively run cloud workloads and swiftly lift and optimize legacy apps into Google Cloud—all without refactoring code or redesigning processes (while still optimizing costs). Whether as a self-directed or fully managed service, it's a snap to extend and migrate to Google Cloud with all the familiar file storage workflows, orchestration, and data protection capabilities you have on premises.
NetApp Offers
Complete cloud portfolio
NetApp's comprehensive, enterprise-grade portfolio of data services brings data center-like storage, management, and automation to Google Cloud. It's pretty simple—much like the implementation of our key data services.
Complete data storage and management suite
Enabling cloud storage as a service means that you can take everything NetApp is known for—scale, performance, availability, manageability—wherever your data leads you.
A simplified path to the cloud
Google Cloud NetApp Volumes is a fully managed file storage service in Google Cloud, providing high-performance enterprise-grade storage with multiprotocol file support for file sharing, applications, and remote data replication. Run demanding workloads and lift and optimize enterprise apps into Google Cloud—without refactoring code or redesigning processes.
Cross-region replication
Region-wide outages and natural (or unnatural) disasters happen. But guess what? You'll save significantly in data transfer costs when it does. Full and incremental-forever replication means the amount of data required to replicate across the regions is kept to a minimum (while keeping data availability to a maximum).
Deep integration with Google Cloud
The world-class data management goodness of NetApp is now available in a first-party service from Google Cloud. Google Cloud NetApp Volumes provides seamless integration in Google Cloud and VPC networking, supporting Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions, Cloud Logging, and integrated billing. Support comes directly from Google, not a third party. Did we mention that a relentless focus on your success lies at the heart of our partnership? You're right.

Technical Specifications
Exhaustive hardware and software metrics extracted directly from official documentation.
-
NetApp approach
- Rapidly deploy file services on Google Cloud with your choice of a fully managed or self-managed storage service
- Access data over SMB, NFS, or both at once: Windows and Linux environments get concurrent access to the same files on the same volume
- Easily scale capacity, optimize resource use, support remote access workers, and dramatically improve user productivity
-
NetApp approach
- Migrate your most performance-intensive workloads—Windows, VMware, SAP—into the cloud with no code changes
- Scale storage and performance to gain true infrastructure flexibility
- Orchestrate your cloud environment from a single pane of glass
-
NetApp approach
- Rest assured with high-availability or replicas of your volumes across regions
- Recover from data loss with NetApp Snapshot copies—while keeping storage consumption in check
- Gain visibility and know exactly who (or what) accessed sensitive files to pinpoint potential policy risks
- Quickly implement key services around data protection, governance, optimization, and security
-
NetApp approach
- Effectively eliminate backup and replication windows and accelerate data recovery
- Enable backup and disaster recovery for on-premises VDI environments such as Horizon and Citrix
- Shrink infrastructure costs with integrated data protection that uses zero compute when idle
-
NetApp approach
- Take advantage of inherently highly available file services that do not require software clusters
- Accelerate protection and application development/testing with snapshots
- Shrink deployment times and accelerate SAP migrations
-
SLA99.99% uptime and availability
-
ReplicationSimple and fast replication across regions
-
BackupsHighly durable daily backups with incremental forever data protection
