NetApp has announced it has acquired JetStream Software, a leader in VMware disaster recovery and migration. The acquisition strengthens NetApp's portfolio with recovery and mobility capabilities that help organizations reduce risk and accelerate transformation, particularly as customers look to protect VMware environments and transition workloads to the cloud.
NetApp acquires JetStream Software, leader in VMware disaster recovery and migration.
Enables protection of VMware environments on any storage platform with recovery on NetApp storage.
Complements NetApp's SnapMirror technology for broader VMware installed base protection.
Helps enterprises protect applications, accelerate cloud migration, and modernize infrastructure.
Supports cloud migration starting with disaster recovery and evolving to production workloads.
JetStream technology will be combined with NetApp's Azure NetApp Files and other cloud offerings.
Enterprise customers continue to rely on VMware for many of their most critical applications. As organizations evaluate cloud adoption, they often seek ways to transition workloads while minimizing cost, complexity, and operational disruption. For many, disaster recovery serves as a practical first step, with production workloads migrating over time as cloud strategies mature. By adding JetStream's technology to NetApp, customers will be able to protect VMware environments running on virtually any storage platform and recover them on NetApp first-party storage offerings such as Azure NetApp Files.
JetStream complements NetApp's existing SnapMirror technology, which remains the preferred replication solution for NetApp environments. Together, the combined portfolio enables NetApp to protect both existing NetApp deployments and the much broader VMware installed base running on third-party storage. With this acquisition, NetApp expands its ability to help enterprises protect applications, accelerate cloud migration, and modernize infrastructure while giving customers the flexibility to move at their own pace.
"Data has become the foundation for business growth, AI innovation, and operational continuity," said George Kurian, Chief Executive Officer at NetApp. "As customers look to unlock greater value from their data while strengthening protection against disruption, bringing JetStream into NetApp expands our ability to help keep their data secure, available, and ready for what comes next. This acquisition further positions NetApp as a leader in enterprise resilience and data protection."
"Customers want to move to the cloud on their schedule, not their infrastructure's schedule," said Pravjit Tiwana, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Cloud Storage and Services at NetApp. "JetStream helps customers start with disaster recovery and seamlessly evolve to production in the cloud. Together, we're making our cloud offerings within hyperscalers the easiest destination for enterprise VMware workloads."
"Customers want solutions that help them evolve their environments without adding complexity," said Tom Critser, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at JetStream Software. "Joining NetApp allows us to bring our technology to more organizations worldwide and deliver even greater value by combining our expertise with NetApp's industry-leading data services and cloud storage portfolio."
