NetApp, a cloud-led, data-centric software company, has announced the availability of NetApp BlueXP, a unified control plane delivering a simple hybrid multi-cloud unified data experience for storage and data services across on-premises and cloud environments.
NetApp BlueXP allows users to manage their broader hybrid multi-cloud data estate, including on-premises unified data storage and first-party native storage with the leading public cloud providers. Offering a simple, yet powerful experience driven by AIOps, BlueXP delivers integrated, unified data service capabilities to deploy, automate, discover, manage, protect, govern and optimise data, infrastructure and the business processes that support them – with the flexible consumption options required in today’s cloud-led environment.
“Today’s cloud environments are complex. Organisations are looking for a better cloud experience – simpler, streamlined, governed and optimized for performance and cost across their entire hybrid multicloud environment,” said Archana Venkatraman, Research Director, Cloud Data Management, IDC. “An ‘evolved cloud’ is one of the most grounded, AI-driven and practical approaches to cloud management as a whole – and organisations will quickly benefit from migration to operations, to FinOps, to innovation.”
“With the launch of BlueXP, NetApp can help the organisations unlock the promise of the cloud by making infrastructure, applications and data true assets to their business,” said George Kurian, Chief Executive Officer at NetApp. “By taking an evolved cloud approach, customers can integrate cloud into their architecture and operations, eliminate complexity and increase their speed of innovation to deliver quickly on the business outcomes that matter most.”
“OpenText serves the majority of the Fortune 100 companies as customers, delivering enterprise-grade, cloud-native solutions and information management software that helps power their businesses,” said Mark J. Barrenechea, CEO and CTO, OpenText. “We are investing in centralising systems to reduce complexity. As we help organisations move to the cloud, we are leveraging NetApp’s portfolio to actively monitor and manage our hybrid multi-cloud environment with a unified control plane, allowing us to efficiently onboard new customers to their cloud of choice in one seamless experience.”
