Build Your Enterprise Storage on Google Cloud
NetApp's BlueXP offers two distinct options for ONTAP-based storage on Google Cloud. Cloud Volumes ONTAP allows for the creation of ONTAP-based storage within your Virtual Private Cloud, providing detailed control over the infrastructure. On the other hand, Cloud Volumes Service offers a fully managed ONTAP-based storage solution provided by Google Cloud. Whether you opt for a customer-managed service with Cloud Volumes ONTAP or prefer the fully managed Google service with Cloud Volumes Service, BlueXP ensures seamless deployment and operation using the management tools of your choice.
Effortless Data Migration Across Environments
With BlueXP, businesses can effortlessly move application and user data between on-premises, edge, and Google Cloud storage environments. The platform facilitates data replication from on-premises and edge locations to either native or ONTAP-based Google Cloud storage, streamlining the transition process. Moreover, BlueXP allows for the tiering of infrequently used data from ONTAP systems to Google Cloud Storage, freeing up valuable on-premises storage space while maintaining data accessibility and integrity.
Enterprise-Grade Data Protection and Resilience
BlueXP prioritizes data protection in Google Cloud by enabling high availability, business continuity, and adherence to enterprise-level security standards. The platform supports the creation of storage with Single-Zone or Multi-Zone high-availability architectures, complete with automatic failover and failback capabilities. Additionally, BlueXP facilitates the backup and recovery of on-premises ONTAP and Cloud Volumes ONTAP volumes to Google Cloud Storage, ensuring data availability and integrity in the event of outages or disasters. Robust security measures such as volume-level encryption, immutable copies, access controls, and ransomware protection further safeguard critical data assets.
Enhanced Governance and Privacy Management
BlueXP empowers organizations to classify their Google Cloud data effectively, enabling enhanced governance and privacy management. By scanning unstructured data for actionable insights and compliance requirements, businesses can optimize costs, accelerate migration to Google Cloud, and ensure data privacy. The platform allows for the organization of data based on various attributes such as sensitivity levels, ownership, permissions, labels, time attributes, and sizes, facilitating clean migrations and efficient data governance practices.
Optimized Storage Consumption and Cost Efficiency
NetApp's BlueXP helps organizations optimize ONTAP-based storage consumption and costs without compromising workload performance. By leveraging thin provisioning, data reduction technologies (such as deduplication and compression), and tiering infrequently accessed data to object storage, businesses can store more data in a smaller storage footprint while reducing storage costs. The platform also leverages NetApp Snapshot™ copies and cloning features for efficient block-level replication and minimal data capacity usage, ensuring cost-effective data management on Google Cloud.
