4 reasons why NetApp and VMware are better together

90% of CIOs have experienced failed or disrupted data migration projects, mostly due to the complexity of moving from on-premises environments to the cloud.

It doesn’t have to be this way. That’s why we’ve partnered with VMware to simplify migration of your workloads and applications to your choice of cloud, while slashing costs and turbocharging performance for data-intensive workloads. Together, we deliver the most trusted storage with the world’s leading virtualized infrastructure solutions, creating interoperability like no other partnership can.

Why are NetApp and VMware better together?

1. Unified

A key challenge for VMware customers is to take advantage of hybrid cloud and modern containerized applications without having to completely redesign their IT infrastructure. The bottom line: Refactoring for cloud compatibility can make or break a hybrid cloud strategy.

With NetApp^® and VMware solutions, you get a unified infrastructure with native integration that’s ready for any workload, in any location, across your choice of leading cloud platforms. That means no refactoring—just smooth sailing to hybrid cloud.

2. Simplified

Modernizing your IT environment and figuring out how to leverage your VMware investment in the cloud can feel like a full-time job. You don’t have time to wrangle separate on-premises and cloud environments; hybrid shouldn’t mean twice the stress.

NetApp and VMware enable you to maximize your existing IT investments without completely redesigning your infrastructure. Our solutions provide a cost-effective, efficient digital foundation to both modernize your data center and seamlessly transition workloads to hybrid cloud with ease and simplicity.

3. Integrated

A truly hybrid cloud should be fully integrated. Our native integration with VMware spans VMware vSphere, VMware Cloud Foundation, and VMware Tanzu. What does that mean for you? Your traditional and cloud-native applications are fully supported, so you’ve got the right architecture and approach to operational efficiency in your virtualized data center.

4. Proven

We’ve helped more than 19,000 of the world’s leading businesses unlock performance, efficiency, and cost savings on a unified digital infrastructure.
