Over the past week, I've received several messages from customers asking the same question: Does the removal of public VDDK downloads affect NetApp Shift Toolkit migrations? It's a valid concern. Many migration solutions in the market have historically relied on VMware's Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK) as a core…
With the release last year of our new generation of ASA series of controllers, you may have noticed that I updated the VMware vSphere with ONTAP Best Practices to recommend using the latency policy option on the round-robin Path Selection Plugin (PSP) with ASA systems. You can also set this option when using the newer…
Every organization I talk to is trying to answer a variation of the same question: How do we modernize infrastructure and take advantage of cloud innovation without giving up control of our data, existing investments, or operational flexibility? For many enterprises, the answer is no longer simply "move everything to the…
Preparing Federal Data for the Post-Quantum Era By Matt Trudewind and Bill Rulo How NetApp helps Federal Agencies adopt PQC and meet requirements today Bottom line: Adversaries can collect encrypted federal data today and keep it until future quantum computers can unlock it. Agencies therefore need to begin updating the…
Resiliency is a key differentiator for NetApp’s Intelligent Data Infrastructure solutions. NetApp’s native data protection features provide optimized data management and protection functionality, making ONTAP a unified data management platform suitable for any workload. NetApp and Veeam have a long-standing partnership…
As organizations move from AI experimentation to production-scale deployments, the attack surface expands dramatically. Large language models, AI agents, vector databases, training datasets, and inference pipelines all rely on one critical asset: data. If data is compromised, manipulated, encrypted, or exposed, the value…
Our FlexPod team has published a new NetApp Verified Architecture (NVA) for FlexPod Edge, pairing Cisco's Unified Edge compute platform with NetApp AFF all-flash storage. The architecture gives organizations a validated, ready-to-deploy blueprint for bringing core-datacenter-class infrastructure and the data management…
Moving VMware workloads to Google Cloud? Don’t let storage become the limiting factor. You need more than just a datastore. You need a storage platform that delivers enterprise data services, scales independently from compute, simplifies disaster recovery, aligns cost to how data is actually used and remains resilient…
AWS Transform, the service that uses agentic AI to accelerate cloud migrations, now supports Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP as a storage target for block storage migration to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. It introduces a direct migration path, eliminating the multi-step workarounds that previously added cost, time, and…
Zero-RPO and Zero-RTO for NAS For years, zero recovery point objective (RPO) for NAS workloads has been achieved through synchronous replication, but achieving zero recovery time objective (RTO) has been a major bottleneck to achieving business continuity. Although synchronous copies of data were available, accessing those…
