NetApp and Oracle to Launch Fully Managed Cloud Storage Service for Demanding AI and Enterprise Workloads

Secure, reliable, and performant NetApp storage is planned to be available as a native service to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure customers

NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP), the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, and Oracle (ORCL) announced a new fully managed storage service that brings enterprise-grade NetApp storage natively to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The service will bring NetApp ONTAP data management capabilities natively to OCI to help organizations simplify the migration and management of critical AI and enterprise workloads in the cloud.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure NetApp Storage Service is designed to be a fully managed OCI-native storage service that brings NetApp ONTAP data management capabilities to OCI. It helps enterprises migrate, run, protect, and modernize databases, enterprise applications, virtualized environments, EDA/HPC, regulated applications, and AI data pipelines while preserving familiar storage operations.

“Customers want the flexibility to move AI and enterprise workloads to the cloud without giving up operational simplicity, data management, and reliability,” said Pravjit Tiwana, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Cloud Storage and Services at NetApp. “OCI NetApp Storage Service gives customers a native OCI experience while allowing them to use the ONTAP familiar capabilities for data protection, migration, governance, and multiprotocol access.”

Customers can manage OCI NetApp Storage Service through the OCI Console and SDKs, ONTAP APIs, and familiar operational workflows. Delivered natively on OCI, the service helps customers move existing ONTAP-based workloads to the cloud while minimizing application redesign and storage management changes. For enterprises running mission-critical workloads in large-scale and regulated industries, OCI NetApp Storage Service helps extend familiar storage capabilities to OCI with consistent data management, high availability, security, and predictable performance across on-premises and cloud environments.

“Enterprises shouldn't have to rebuild their data infrastructure to move to the cloud,” said Konstantinos (kp) Papamiltiadis, Senior Vice President of Partnerships at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “OCI NetApp Storage Service gives customers a trusted, familiar path to OCI, so they can focus on what the data does, not how it's managed.”

“By bringing a native ONTAP-based storage service to OCI, we are combining OCI’s scale and performance with NetApp’s enterprise data capabilities to empower customers to run mission-critical workloads,” said Alvaro Celis, Senior Vice President, Chief Commercial, Partner and Ecosystem Officer at NetApp. “This partnership enhances our ability to deliver meaningful customer value, especially in regulated industries, by making it easier for organizations to move, modernize, and protect their most critical applications on OCI.”

OCI NetApp Storage Service is planned for general availability within the next 12 months.
