Signed SCA with AWS delivers performance and scalability for modern data workloads like Generative AI
(BUSINESS
WIRE) -- NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the intelligent data infrastructure
company, today announced the expansion of its decade-long relationship
with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to help joint customers continuously fuel
business growth and innovation in the artificial intelligence (AI) era.
Signing a new Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) builds on the
commitment to benefit joint customers by accelerating generative AI
efforts, simplifying transactions, and delivering CloudOps value.
NetApp
and AWS have worked together for over a decade to jointly accelerate
innovation for thousands of customers worldwide. In that time, NetApp
has achieved more than a dozen AWS competencies, including the
Manufacturing and Industrial Software, Financial Services Technology,
and Cloud Operations Software competencies. AWS Competencies validate
AWS Partners with demonstrated AWS technical expertise and proven
customer success. NetApp is the only enterprise storage vendor with a
first-party data storage service natively built on AWS with Amazon FSx
for NetApp ONTAP®, a service that unlocks the best of cloud for
customers by delivering the industry-leading data management operating
system on AWS. The innovation between NetApp and AWS provides customers
with a strong technology foundation for cloud-based data and operations
services that prepares them to overcome current and future challenges.
NetApp also supports operations for cloud infrastructure environments,
including AWS, with CloudOps solutions such as Spot by NetApp, NetApp
Cloud Insights, and Instaclustr by NetApp. These solutions combine
machine learning (ML) and analytics to simplify, automate, and optimize
operations in the cloud, helping customers reduce costs, secure their
data, and get the most out of their cloud investments.
“With
NetApp cloud solutions on AWS, our customers maintain full control over
their data across their entire hybrid cloud environment while benefiting
from industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and
performance of AWS,” said Ashish Dhawan, Senior Vice President of Cloud
Sales at NetApp. “That’s all made possible because our engineering teams
are so in sync. Together, NetApp and AWS help customers continuously
fuel business growth and innovation by delivering data-rich experiences
through workload migration and new application deployments on AWS.”
The expansion of the collaboration between NetApp and AWS will benefit customers by:
Accelerating Generative AI Efforts: This SCA will accelerate generative
AI efforts, helping customers continuously fuel business growth and
innovation by delivering data-rich experiences through workload
migration and new application deployments on AWS. NetApp recently
released BlueXP workload factory to help customers connect ONTAP with
foundation models (FMs) through Amazon Bedrock and extend their
on-premises data estate for building generative AI applications. AWS and
NetApp also published reference architecture guidance for customers to
integrate proprietary enterprise data on FSx for ONTAP into generative
AI pipelines using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and APIs for
Amazon Bedrock, enabling secure, high-performance use with foundation
models. The collaboration between AWS and NetApp simplifies,
accelerates, and enables the ability to generate unique, high-quality,
and ultra-relevant data insights. Instaclustr by NetApp manages open
source vector databases, a crucial component in the delivery of fast and
accurate results in RAG architectures. The close collaboration between
AWS and NetApp on these advanced workloads makes it simpler and faster
for customers to unlock value from their data using RAG.
Simplifying Transactions: This SCA will enable increased AWS Marketplace
purchases, especially for NetApp CloudOps solutions, to streamline
processes for customers. It will also enable customers to more easily
implement technical proof of concepts to evaluate how NetApp solutions
on AWS can support their operations.
Delivering CloudOps
Value: This SCA better positions NetApp as a trusted provider of
CloudOps solutions for AWS environments. Investments from AWS enable
NetApp to better position and deliver cost and performance optimization
solutions through the AWS Marketplace. NetApp’s close relationship with
AWS shows customers they can trust that NetApp solutions will integrate
seamlessly into their cloud operations and help them achieve their goals
for the performance, protection, scalability, and availability of their
workloads and data.
