NetApp, the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, today announced new NetApp data management capabilities optimized for Red Hat OpenShift that enable advanced levels of resilience and scale for virtualized environments, on-premises and in the cloud. The updates improve the speed and predictability of backup, recovery, and day-to-day operations so customers can migrate, scale, and manage virtual machine (VM) and container environments to enable innovation and agility with greater confidence.
NetApp Backup and Recovery for OpenShift adds Change Block Tracking (CBT) for incremental-forever backups with compute offload.
NetApp Disaster Recovery for OpenShift in public preview expands from backup to orchestrated disaster recovery for Kubernetes-based VMs.
According to Red Hat report, 90% of organizations agree virtualization supports innovation; 71% have over half of IT infrastructure virtualized.
Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with Google Cloud NetApp Volumes now generally available on OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud.
NetApp Trident Parallelism enables concurrent storage operations for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and Google Cloud NetApp Volumes.
NetApp data platform natively embedded in world's largest clouds.
“When IT teams are faced with slow scanning and backup processes, they're unable to meet recovery point and recovery time objectives,” said Dallas Olson, Chief Commercial Officer at NetApp. “NetApp's latest innovations with Red Hat enable predictable backup and recovery behavior even as the VM environment grows. Customers can now migrate, operate, and protect large‑scale VM and container environments on Red Hat OpenShift with greater speed, predictability, and operational confidence.”
According to The state of virtualization report from Red Hat, 90 percent of organizations agree that virtualization supports innovation. Combined with the report's finding that 71 percent of organizations have over half of their IT infrastructure virtualized, enterprises are expanding their virtualized environments to help them manage the increasing volumes of data that fuel the AI-era. As Red Hat OpenShift virtualized environments grow, backup methods that rely on scanning full VM disks can lead to longer backup windows, unpredictable recovery timelines, and increased operational risk.
NetApp Backup and Recovery for Red Hat OpenShift and OpenShift Virtualization: NetApp Backup and Recovery is a simple, secure, and cost-effective data protection service for OpenShift applications on NetApp ONTAP storage. It accelerates backups and restores with incremental-forever backups providing Change Block Tracking (CBT), storage efficiency preservation, and compute offload. With this update, NetApp Backup and Recovery now enhances support for protecting VMs on OpenShift with comprehensive automation enabling VM-granular protection and recovery workflows.
NetApp Disaster Recovery support for Red Hat OpenShift and OpenShift Virtualization: Customers can now use NetApp Disaster Recovery in public preview for their Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization environments, expanding from backup into orchestrated disaster recovery for Kubernetes‑based VMs. This DR-as-a-service offering delivers simple, low-cost disaster protection for virtualized workloads on NetApp ONTAP storage.
Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with Red Hat OpenShift on Google Cloud: Google Cloud NetApp Volumes and Trident CSI driver for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization are now generally available on Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud environments with certified support.
NetApp Trident Parallelism: NetApp Trident now supports improved scalability through parallel execution of operations in the Trident controller for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and Google Cloud NetApp Volumes environments, removing storage bottlenecks by enabling concurrent rather than serial execution.
“Legacy disaster recovery models were not built for the scale and pace of today's virtualized environments,” said Steve Gordon, Senior Director, Product Management, Hybrid Cloud Platforms at Red Hat. “Our collaboration with NetApp directly addresses the most pressing challenges customers face as enterprise virtualized environments continue to grow in scale and complexity. Together with NetApp, we're helping customers modernize data protection and disaster recovery for Red Hat OpenShift delivering more predictable outcomes and a stronger foundation for hybrid cloud.”
