NetApp, a data infrastructure company, expands its partnership with Google Cloud by integrating unified data storage and intelligent services into the Google Distributed Cloud architecture.
NetApp’s collaboration with Google Cloud to provide the foundational data storage for Google Distributed Cloud offerings empowers organizations to innovate confidently and manage data effectively, enabling compliance and supporting application development in a secure environment.
Google Distributed Cloud extends customers’ cloud infrastructure and services to the places customers need them, including on-premises data centers and network edges. This enables customers to leverage cloud technology and applications with AI capabilities while maintaining more control over their IT environments.
Intelligent data infrastructure from NetApp further enhances these environments with its NetApp ONTAP® and StorageGRID solutions, which give customers better control over their data to efficiently scale their workloads and leverage AI while helping maintain security and regulatory compliance.
“By working together, Google Distributed Cloud and NetApp are putting AI innovation in reach, even as organizations navigate new regulatory requirements that make data security and compliance more challenging,” said Cesar Cernuda, President at NetApp. “NetApp is a trusted partner for organizations seeking innovative and compliant data management solutions. With solutions powered by NetApp intelligent data infrastructure, Google Distributed Cloud can offer AI-ready solutions tailored for the public sector and regulated industries.”
This collaboration empowers organizations, especially in the public sector and regulated industries, to leverage AI-ready infrastructure while maintaining high standards for security and strict regulatory compliance.
“Our partnership with NetApp on Google Distributed Cloud has enabled us to provide customers with a platform such that organizations can benefit from localized processing, rapid scalability to meet changing demands, and enhanced security,” said Sameet Agarwal, General Manager and Vice President of Storage at Google Cloud. “These capabilities equip organizations in regulated sectors to effectively address their need for data-driven innovation as they tap into emerging technology like AI.”
This collaboration allows the customers to facilitate their cloud, data center, and edge solutions for improved compliance, agility, and security. This simplifies management and enables easier deployment of distributed cloud solutions to adapt to evolving trends and operational environments.
