New solutions and partner integrations built on clustered Data ONTAP provide a storage and data management foundation to enable organizations to move confidently to hybrid cloud architectures
SUNNYVALE, Calif. - September 17, 2013 - Jay Kidd, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, NetApp
Regardless of the ultimate computing destination, the CIO will maintain ownership of the organization's data. The introduction of new multicloud architectures makes data governance more complex because data is distributed, and not under direct control. Our vision is to create an enterprise data management solution, with the clustered Data ONTAP operating system at its core, which will span the customers' data storage landscape, irrespective of data type or location.
News Summary
CIOs are moving from being builders and operators of data centers to becoming brokers of application and information services. They are embracing new technologies and service models to deliver IT faster, cheaper, and smarter, while making their companies more responsive and competitive.
Public cloud computing is at the forefront of this dramatic shift in IT. Organizations increasingly look to integrate public cloud services to offer predictable costs, faster provisioning, and infinite scale. More and more, organizations are turning to hybrid cloud environments to optimize costs, seize opportunities, and mitigate risks. In this reality, data must travel across multiple clouds seamlessly - from private to public to hybrid models - while providing IT with the necessary control to centrally manage, govern, and transport data across discrete cloud resources.
Today, NetApp extended its strategy and commitment to provide seamless cloud management across any blend of private and public cloud resources. NetApp's strategy is to use the world's number-one branded storage operating system, Data ONTAP, as a universal data platform across cloud environments. Data ONTAP software will enable dynamic data portability across all clouds and will support extensive customer choice for application, technology, and cloud partner options. Already more than 175 cloud service providers deliver cloud services built on Data ONTAP. IDC has named NetApp Data ONTAP as the world's number-one branded storage operating system.[*]
News Facts
Today NetApp outlined its vision for seamless data management across any blend of private and public clouds. Its vision centers on three strategic pillars:

A Universal Data Platform Built on clustered Data ONTAP
With more IT organizations complementing private cloud infrastructure with public cloud services, NetApp's patented clustered Data ONTAP software provides a common fabric for storage and data management across all cloud resources. Available in NetApp optimized systems (FAS systems), for third-party hardware (V-Series), within converged infrastructures (the FlexPod data center platform), and as a virtual storage appliance for commodity disk drives (Data ONTAP-V), clustered Data ONTAP is a flexible and efficient storage platform that enables nondisruptive operations and near-infinite scalability.
In the upcoming months, NetApp and Cisco will deepen the integration of clustered Data ONTAP into the FlexPod converged infrastructure with the introduction of new reference architectures aimed at large-scale cloud service provider and enterprise multi-tenant environments. The new features build on the success that more than 2,400 customers have had moving to private clouds with FlexPod.
NetApp will continue to expand its leadership in the software-defined storage market with clustered Data ONTAP and enable application owners through API integrations. This leadership includes expanded investments in connecting to hyperscale cloud service providers, more robust quality-of-service capabilities, and expanded API integrations with emerging solutions like OpenStack and CloudStack.
