Flexible. Predictable. Compliant. Secure.

Why NetApp GovCloud Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS)?

A secure and flexible storage service that manages and stores your data where you need it. Pay for what you need, for as long as you need it stored. STaaS is extremely simple and economical to use across an entire data footprint, precisely aligned with ever-changing data needs.

We're excited to announce that NetApp has been formally appointed to the NSW government's cloud purchasing arrangements (CPA) panel. This means you can acquire approved NetApp technology through your NSW government preferred partner. Contracts are designed for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) via the public cloud delivery model for NSW government buyers.

Primary use cases

  • Database and virtualised applications
  • High-capacity applications
  • Backup and replication 
  • Long-term archiving

Stay compliant

Data is stored in a secure multi-tenanted environment within GovCloud, keeping it in your ownership and control. Your data also resides within the borders of NSW to ensure compliance with data sovereignty policies as outlined by the NSW government.

Maintain control of your data

Unlike many cloud providers, there is no cost for adding or removing data from your STaaS Capacity Pack. You can also choose to move from one storage service to another without a change in fee. With STaaS, you are not locked into a particular storage service level, so you can accommodate any performance requirements for short-term projects or entire enterprise-wide upgrades.

Connect to GovCloud

Extend your data environment into GovCloud via Equinix Cloud Connect or Direct Connect. This lets you take advantage of NetApp STaaS and its advanced data management capabilities, while leveraging cloud scale compute resources at the same time.

Capacity licensing

STaaS capacity licensing is storage software feature licensing, delivering the greatest flexibility for purchasing storage data management services, features and capacity. Capacity licenses ensure ongoing entitlement to your data, no matter which platform is chosen within the Marketplace.

  • Flexible - storage features and capacity are available separately—what you need, when you need it. GovCloud-wide pooled capacities eliminate stranded capacity and geographic limitations.
  • Grants entitlement - no need to buy licenses again when repurposing capacity or consolidating platforms across storage services.
  • Predictable - no bill shock—only pay for allocated storage based on features, performance, capacity and term, with no charges for data ingest or retrieval.

Capacity packs

Manage your storage allocation, automate provisioning tasks and protect data across multiple sites. Choose from a range of performance and protocol capabilities to right-size the predictability and scalability of your STaaS platform.

Add capacity packs to your capacity license and pay a predictable monthly change based on a cents/GiB/term model, delivering the greatest flexibility for purchasing storage and growing your storage allocation.
