AWS and NetApp now offer NetApp® on-premises enterprise storage arrays for AWS Outposts, an integrated solution to simplify the deployment of block storage for AWS Outposts through the AWS Management Console. This simplification means that customers can seamlessly attach block data volumes backed by NetApp on-premises enterprise storage arrays to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances on AWS Outposts directly from the AWS Management Console. This integration allows customers to use NetApp’s intelligent data infrastructure with Outposts to create a resilient, compliant, and optimized infrastructure.   What is AWS Outposts? AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that brings cloud capabilities to on-premises and edge locations. It offers the same AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to run your applications on your premises as in the AWS Regions. AWS compute, storage, database, and other services run locally on AWS Outposts, and you can scale your on-premises applications by using familiar AWS services and tools.   AWS Outposts is connected to a nearby AWS Region and operates with the same control plane as other AWS services in the Region, providing a consistent operational experience across AWS Regions and on-premises locations. Your AWS Outposts infrastructure and AWS services are managed, monitored, and updated by AWS, just as in AWS Regions.   Deep integration: NetApp and AWS Outposts    Simplified user experience. Customers can attach block data volumes backed by NetApp on-premises enterprise storage arrays to Amazon EC2 instances on Outposts by using the EC2 launch instance wizard. This approach simplifies the user experience and automates volume attachments for various workloads.   Enhanced data protection. NetApp can provide advanced data protection and compliance across AWS Outposts and AWS Regions with industry-leading file, block, and object services.   Seamless hybrid cloud. Customers who extend the power of AWS Cloud in their data centers can use NetApp ONTAP® data management software connected to Outposts and Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP in the AWS Regions.   "This collaboration between AWS and NetApp represents a significant leap forward in hybrid cloud solutions. By integrating NetApp's enterprise storage capabilities with AWS Outposts through our native management console, we're empowering customers to deploy and manage their on-premises workloads with the same ease and flexibility they've come to expect from AWS. This integrated solution not only simplifies operations but also enables advanced data protection and compliance capabilities, providing a seamless hybrid cloud experience. It's a game-changer for organizations looking to leverage the power of the cloud while maintaining critical workloads on-premises."   —Jan Hofmeyr, Vice President of EC2 Networking and Edge, AWS   Use cases and key advantages  NetApp and AWS Outposts support a broad range of workloads for block storage: VMware vSphere to Amazon EC2 instance migration. Migrate from VMware to Amazon EC2 instances where NetApp storage is the primary storage for all data. Databases. Customers can run mission-critical databases on AWS Outposts and leverage NetApp tools for backup, replication, and disaster recovery. Enterprise and financial services apps. Customers can run their latency-sensitive applications or applications subject to regulatory compliance on Outpost and benefit from the AWS security and compliance features.   Seamless hybrid cloud experience The ability to integrate volume attachments with EC2 instance launch directly from the AWS Management Console simplifies the user experience and reduces complexity. Eliminating manual processes and promoting automation makes it easier for customers to leverage the advanced storage capabilities offered by NetApp wherever they need them, both in the AWS Regions with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and on premises with AWS Outposts.   Learn more at https://www.netapp.com/aws/outposts/   ...
