Map your entire
data estate
at no cost.

Agents and AI outcomes are only as good as the data behind them. Start by knowing what you have.

Map your data for free

Your enterprise data is already there. The challenge is knowing what you have, where it lives, who owns it, and whether it is ready for AI.

NetApp’s data discovery and metadata service creates a current view of your data estate across NetApp and supported non-NetApp storage, without requiring you to consolidate your data first. Use it to discover, understand, and prepare the data your applications and AI agents need.

Free for all NetApp customers.

The challenge: Your AI agents can’t use data they can’t find or understand.

Enterprise AI teams spend as much as 70% of their time on data preparation and pipeline management.[1] A major reason projects stall before delivering real value.

Enterprise data is scattered across environments, shares, files, and object stores. Before teams can use it for AI, they need to answer basic questions: What do we have? Where is it? Who owns it? Is it current? Who can access it?

NetApp gives you that view without requiring you to move or copy the underlying data.

#1

Data management is the #1 AI adoption roadblock.[2]

What you get: Know what your data is, not just where it lives.

One catalog of what you have

Discover files and objects across supported NetApp and non-NetApp storage. See where data resides, who owns it, how old it is, and how it is being accessed, without moving the underlying data.

See what needs attention

Surface redundant, obsolete, and cold data, ownership gaps, access patterns, and potentially overexposed content. Give teams a prioritized view of the estate instead of forcing them to investigate storage environment by environment.

Start AI with better data

Give data and AI teams a current view of available enterprise data before they build pipelines, curate datasets, or consume expensive GPUs. The catalog stays current as the underlying estate changes.
