Simplifying the multicloud madness

I get that moving to the cloud - whether it is to 1 cloud or multiple can seem overwhelming. But that's where commonality of services and automation comes in.

When you move to multicloud, the trick is to have a common toolset that lets you work in multiple cloud environments-like an umbrella. For example, you may have a CMDB that allows your internal customers to consume resources for charge-back and show-back monitoring. Monitoring tools like NetApp Cloud Insights allow you to monitor more than one cloud, so with a common environment and a common toolset, you don't have to learn something new.

You can also have commonality in the storage layer. One of the things that we've been working on for more than a decade is commonality of the data services and data management capabilities. That means you can have the same capabilities on-premises, in AWS, in Azure, or in Google.

Commonality also makes you more agile getting into cloud or moving from one cloud to another because not only do you have the capabilities, you can also use migration tools that come with those endpoints. When it comes to operations, governance, security, monitoring, and the data services and management layers, NetApp has the tools to give you these commonalities across multiple clouds.

A whole lot of care and feeding goes into making sure that you've got the right compute, the right networking and security, and the right storage, recovery, and optimizations-and frankly, it's inefficient. NetApp services, in the storage layer, the compute layer, and in monitoring look at what's needed and automatically tune for what's optimal, freeing you up to look after what matters most: your business.
