Amazon FSx for NETAPP ONTAP
Fully managed service providing high reliability, scalable, responsive and feature rich file storage that is built on the NetAPP ONTAP storage.
Brings Ontap capabilities to native AWS managed services to power primary workloads and build modern applications.
Fully managed and flexible, high performance, uses capacity pool tier for infrequently used data, globally available, high availability, uses snapshot technology automatic backups and disaster recovery copies.
Use cases: Enterprise grade file shares (home directories VDI, web apps SAP), line of business applications (EDA, media, financial services), containerised and modernised applications (Amazon EKS, Red hat Openshift) , Enterprise applications ( SAP, oracle, SQL, CRM, open source) and databases, Migration and hybrid cloud deployments (lift and shift, DR backup and archive) and primary storage for independent software vendors (file and block for SaaS applications).
Azure Netapp Files
Native Azure service built on netapp technology.
Extreme file performance: target for any business critical file workloads a with extreme file throughput (sub ms response times).
Simple, seamless experience: can be deployed via Azure portal or Azure API and CLI integration.
Secure data: always on encryption and point-in=-time data copies (without added capacity costs).
File services: Migrate and run file workloads in Azure
DevOps: create clones of existing datasets without impacting source data
Analytics: accelerate big data for research and data-driven decisions
Databases: High performing scalable file services that make it easy to store and protect data.
Service Levels: Standard (16Mbit/sec per TiB of capacity); premium (64Mbit/sec per TiB of capacity), Ultra (128Mib/sec per TiB of capacity).
Cloud Volumes service for Google Cloud
Cloud integrated file service for performance, availability and security.
Fully managed service, native user experience, rich data management, secure by design, data protection and scalability with high availability.
Use cases
Data Center extension and hybrid cloud (extend DC for on demand capacity bursts)
Disaster recovery (offload to cloud storage for off-site recovery point for DR.)
Compute intensive applications (ability to scale on demand for things like VDI)
Application. Modernisation ( access cloud native services and unify operations for greater application and data mobility.)
Service Levels: standard (16Mib/s per TB), standard SW (128Mib/s per TB), Premium (64Mib/s per TB), Extreme (128Mib/s per TB)
Cloud Volumes ONTAP
A powerful cost-effective and easy-to-use data management solution for your cloud workloads
Enables customers to use OPTAP software features to manage cloud storage (Amazon EBS, Azure Disk storage and Google Persistent Disk storage).
