The NetApp Platform

Intelligent data infrastructure
for the AI era and beyond Intelligent data
infrastructure
for the AI era and beyond

One platform for any data, any workload, anywhere—built to modernize, secure, and transform data to be AI-ready.

THE POWER OF THE NETAPP PLATFORM

Handle any workload running anywhere.

Any Workload, Anywhere

The NetApp Platform supports all modern workloads

Across on-premises data centers, the edge, neoclouds and AI factories, sovereign clouds, and every major public cloud.

AT A DETAIL LEVEL

Autonomous Control Plane

Unified Manageability

One API-first control plane handles provisioning, configuration, and protection, for systems that are on-premises and in the cloud.

Observability

Telemetry born inside the storage OS, correlated fleet-wide and integrated via open standards with your choice of enterprise-wide monitoring platform.

Agentic Ops

One MCP-native contract lets agents run both infrastructure and data operations, with per-agent identity and access checked at the moment of use.

Autonomous Optimization

A closed loop from observability to action so that the control plane becomes self-provisioning, self-optimizing, and self-healing.

AT A DETAIL LEVEL

AI Data Services

Data Discovery

In place scanning turns dark data into a map of what exists and where, without moving a byte.

Classification

Labels for type, sensitivity, and business context are produced during the same in-place scan and stay attached to the data itself.

Governance

Access rules for people and agents are defined once and enforced at the storage layer, with no per-system reconfiguration.

Transformation

Raw data is vectorized and made ready for semantic search where it lives, eliminating the need to move it and the ETL processes that can compromise governance.

Semantic Search

Meaning-based, permission-aware retrieval across your whole estate, grounded in vector stores and a knowledge graph rather than keyword matching.

AT A DETAIL LEVEL

Unified Storage

On-Premises

In enterprise data centers, the NetApp Platform is deployed as software and as purpose-built storage appliances leveraging all-flash, disk-based, or hybrid storage options to optimize performance requirements and costs. Utilize scale-out, disaggregated, or software defined architectures to optimize for workload needs. All with a consistent operating experience.

Public & Sovereign Clouds

The same data plane runs natively inside every major hyperscaler, with sovereign options for data that must meet strict regulatory requirements.

NeoClouds

Performance that keeps expensive GPUs fed, plus the multi-tenancy controls AI providers need to share infrastructure safely.

Edge

The same capabilities, policies, and management surface reach out to where data is created — no separate edge operating model.

AT A DETAIL LEVEL

Data Resilience

Integrated Zero Trust

Encryption and access control is built into the OS at every layer and protocol. It’s independently validated, and governs both human and agent identities.

Business Continuity

Protection matched to each workload’s tolerance, from zero-RPO/RTO site failover to long-distance async, under one recovery model across SAN and NAS.

Cyber Vault Protection

An isolated, immutable, time-locked copy of your data that survives an attack even when production systems and admin credentials do not.

Ransomware Detection

Attacks and data extraction are caught in primary storage in real time and answered automatically — snapshot, block, alert.

Rapid Recovery

Verified-clean restores of petabyte-scale data in minutes, backed by a recovery guarantee on properly configured systems.

The NetApp Platform is also available as a service through NetApp Keystone

No hardware to buy. No capacity to guess. NetApp Keystone delivers core capabilities of the NetApp Platform as a flexible, consumption-based service — so you only pay for what you use.

FAQS

The NetApp Platform is an intelligent, governed data infrastructure foundation that provides zero-copy access to all your data, wherever it resides. It enables connections to any AI or analytics ecosystem, supported by secure hybrid multicloud storage. By delivering real-time, in-place access to AI-ready data, the platform eliminates the need for constant extraction, transformation, and consolidation.

No. The NetApp Platform is a composable suite of products and services designed to support a wide array of customer initiatives. Organizations can start with a single component, such as an on-premises all-flash storage array or a specific cloud data service, and add other platform capabilities as their needs grow. It's an open ecosystem, not a monolithic purchase.

NetApp delivers always-current data in place across on-premises and cloud environments, without copying or re-architecting. By integrating storage, data services, and AI processing into one unified platform, it supports accurate, reliable AI outcomes at production scale.

NetApp is the only enterprise data platform natively embedded into the three major cloud providers: Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.

The NetApp Platform enables organizations to manage a hybrid multicloud data estate through a unified control plane that breaks down silos, delivering complete visibility and intelligent automation across all environments.

NetApp embeds security into the data layer itself, not just the perimeter. The NetApp platform provides autonomous, AI-driven defense mechanisms that detect, protect, and recover data faster than conventional approaches. With greater than 99% threat detection accuracy and proactive containment built into the data layer itself, the platform closes the gaps that perimeter-only security leaves open.
