NetApp and VMware

Any workload, any app, anywhere

Address the challenges of today and strategically prepare for the future with an intelligent data infrastructure for VMware.

Introducing new capabilities for VMware Cloud Foundation:

Use NetApp ONTAP for all your VMware Cloud Foundation storage requirements. Manage Azure VMware Solution reserved instances with Spot Eco to increase utilization in combination with Azure NetApp Files and reduce compute costs by 20-30%. Empower storage and VM administrators with deeper insights into performance, issue detection, and efficient trouble shooting with Data Infrastructure Insights.

NetApp Flash Hardware

Monitor and optimize

With full stack observability of your virtualized infrastructure, you can proactively reduce waste, maximize utilization, right-size workloads, and balance infrastructure across your hybrid-cloud resources.

VMware and your choice of public cloud

No other data infrastructure provider can support VMware workloads both on-premises and in the cloud on AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.
