NetApp helps you build a unified data fabric between your data center and choice of clouds with silly-simplified management, limitless flexibility to adapt as your needs change, and the relaxing sounds of a hybrid cloud humming at peak efficiency.
No matter how often your hybrid cloud strategy changes or evolves, NetApp solutions deliver everything necessary for a flexible hybrid cloud environment, including infrastructure freedom, a unified control plane, consumption flexibility, and a solid data management strategy.
Gain expertise required to implement and automate NetApp Hybrid Cloud solutions from private and public cloud configurations to monitoring and troubleshooting.
Overview
Learn to implement a hybrid cloud solution with Microsoft Azure by using NetApp® Cloud Volumes ONTAP®. Connect an Azure Virtual Network (VNet) and an on-premises data center to unify your infrastructure. Use NetApp Cloud Manager to move data and manage storage in the hybrid cloud. Learn about how NetApp cloud services are integrated into Cloud Manager to provide persistent storage for Kubernetes containers and enhance data protection, security, and compliance. Learn to optimize capacity and performance of Cloud Volumes ONTAP.
