It helps to have smart friends. When the world’s largest cloud providers—AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud—trust NetApp for their storage needs, it says something about expertise. It says something about making good decisions. In today’s complex, hybrid, and multi-cloud world, choosing the right storage and data management partner is not easy. You need a solution that is reliable, scalable, and secure. So, when the largest cloud providers come to the same conclusion, that’s worth talking about.
Our partnerships with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud are built on trust, innovation, and a shared commitment to solving customer challenges. These partnerships are not just about technology for technology’s sake—they are about delivering real value to businesses by ensuring seamless integration, optimized performance, and access to cutting-edge technology.
For example, AWS leverages NetApp technology to enhance its storage solutions, providing its customers with high-performance, scalable, and secure storage options. This collaboration ensures businesses can run their applications efficiently and securely, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment.
And don’t take our word for it. According to IDC, organizations using Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP achieved substantial benefits, including a 288% three-year ROI and a nine-month payback period (IDC, 2025).

Commitment to security
Security is paramount in today’s digital landscape, but few vendors can guarantee it. NetApp’s industry-leading security features protect data across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Our solutions ensure that your data is secure, compliant, and protected against threats, giving you peace of mind. For example, the cybersecurity features of NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP are enhanced by integrating Autonomous Ransomware Protection, SnapCenter licensed capability, and write once, read many (WORM) storage into its licenses at no additional cost. This integration streamlines security management and reduces the time and financial impact on customers.
Native integration with NetApp solutions and the largest cloud providers is unmatched. Whether you are a small startup or a large enterprise, you can benefit from the same trusted solutions that power the world’s leading cloud providers.
