Data breach continues to make headline. Insider threat usually describes an attack vector that leverages compromised systems or credentials to masquerade as an authorized user to gain access to data, however it could also describe an authorized user with nefarious intentions. In this blog, you will learn what make NetApp Cloud Insights special and different from other information security tools and its features that help users detect and react to threats, and report after attack.

SaaS relies on the cloud for efficient delivery, but faces data challenges like tenant isolation, high storage costs, and compliance requirements. Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP solves these by providing multi-tenancy, storage efficiencies, persistent Kubernetes storage, and more. It enables SaaS providers to enhance agility while managing data availability, protection, security and costs. Arcesium reduced dev/test refreshes by 80% and overall costs by 46% using FSx for ONTAP.

Many Kubernetes applications require access to persistent storage and data services, including block storage, shared file systems, and object storage. Learn how MYCOM OSI has improved the cost-performance dimension by adopting Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP. This post explores how the storage option was evaluated to identify a solution that optimizes the handling of large and complex telco assurance datasets.

Last year, we announced Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP integration with VMware Cloud on AWS, and introduced support for single-Availability Zone deployments. Previously, AWS Transit Gateway has been a requirement of the solution, providing customers with flexibility with connecting their file systems to their VMware Cloud on AWS SDDCs. Now, we are excited to announce the removal of AWS Transit Gateway as a requirement from the solution. Instead, we are adding support for virtual private cloud (VPC) peering.

In on-premises data centers, VMware virtualization and NetApp ONTAP storage are widely adopted solutions. The release of Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and support for VMware Cloud on AWS give customers a new option for disaster recovery. Learn how these solutions allow for virtual machine data to be copied from an on-premises environment to AWS using NetApp SnapMirror. Once in AWS, the VMs can be imported into vCenter in a VMware Cloud on AWS environment used as a DR destination.

Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP is a storage service that allows customers to launch and run fully managed ONTAP file systems in the cloud. Explore the benefits of single-Availability Zone deployments for FSx for NetApp datastores and review which workloads they are best suited for. Single-AZ file systems provide a lower-cost storage option for use cases that do not require the data resiliency model of a multi-AZ file system, while offering all of the same data management capabilities and features.

Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP is a native AWS managed service powered by NetApp ONTAP software and available around the world. This integration makes it easy and cost effective for a SDDC to be scaled with additional storage capacity through Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP. This post will help you decide if using Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP as a customer-managed network file system datastore within VMware Cloud on AWS is suitable for you.

Learn how you can use Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP to provide block storage for virtual machine workloads running on VMware Cloud on AWS via the iSCSI protocol. With Amazon FSx for ONTAP, you can launch, run, and scale fully managed NetApp ONTAP storage file systems on AWS. The solution helps customers address their block storage requirements for workloads running on VMware Cloud on AWS.

Customers running virtual machines on VMware Cloud on AWS have unique storage requirements and require a solution that provides a scalable, high performance, and feature-rich file storage. Learn how you can use Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP as one of your options for providing storage to virtual machines running on VMware Cloud on AWS. We’ll then discuss different connectivity options available for VMs to access these storage volumes.
