Nebul Adopts NetApp Novus to Power Sovereign AI Infrastructure

SAN JOSE, Calif. — November 10, 2026 — NetApp^® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, today announced that Nebul, a European AI-native cloud provider, is the first neocloud to adopt NetApp Novus^™, its new high-performance architecture designed to deliver the fastest storage on the planet. Nebul is building the Intelligent Cloud, a sovereign platform integrating accelerated infrastructure, enterprise data services and production AI capabilities. Novus, now generally available, is designed to maximize utilization for millions of GPUs and is architected for up to 100 TB per second of aggregate throughput.

Moving quickly to adopt the groundbreaking technology, Nebul and NetApp are exploring new opportunities to help organizations achieve AI-powered advantage and unlock greater value from their data. Bringing together Nebul’s sovereign AI services and the proven power of the NetApp Platform, the companies are exploring opportunities to accelerate the adoption of sovereign AI while giving enterprises the security, governance and control their data demands.

“Neoclouds and GPU-as-a-Service providers are building AI factories at a scale that traditional storage architectures were never designed to support,” said Willem Hendrickx, Senior Vice President and General Manager, EMEA and LATAM at NetApp. “As demand for data sovereignty grows, AI providers like Nebul must also build their infrastructure to address the compliance, security and multi-tenancy requirements of regulated industries such as government, healthcare and biotech. Novus combines a cutting-edge architecture built from the ground up for modern AI factories with the NetApp Platform’s established capabilities for making data AI-ready and secure, supporting customers with a faster, lower-risk path from AI pilot to production.”

For Nebul, the disaggregated architecture of Novus can keep the neocloud’s GPUs productive across its multi-tenant environment by scaling performance, capacity and concurrency independently under a single namespace as customer demand grows. Because Novus is built on NetApp ONTAP^® software, organizations running on the NetApp Platform can extend their existing data estates into sovereign cloud environments. This is designed to help keep consistent security, protection and governance so data maintains its existing jurisdiction and access policies.

"NetApp Novus represents a significant leap forward for our platform,” said Arnold Juffer, founder and CEO of Nebul. “With this architecture, we can scale our AI Factory to serve growing customer demand without sacrificing the performance, security or compliance they depend on. More importantly, bringing together NetApp's enterprise data infrastructure and our sovereign Intelligent Cloud can enable organizations to turn their existing data into production AI services and applications while maintaining ownership and control. We are proud to be the first neocloud to adopt this technology."

Introduced in September, NetApp Novus is already gaining momentum with neocloud providers to explore how NetApp and AI cloud providers can bring NetApp-powered AI infrastructure to customers around the world.
