About Cloud Volumes Service for AWS

Fully managed file service

NetApp configures and manages your infrastructure so you don‘t have to.

High performance

With consistently high performance, over 450K IOPS, NetApp® Cloud Volumes Service provides shared persistent storage with high throughput and low latency that meets the demands of large databases and HPC applications, like software builds, genomic sequencing, video rendering and transcoding, EDA., financial simulation models, oil and gas 3D modeling, and fluid dynamics.

Multiprotocol support

Cloud Volumes Service for AWS delivers fully managed file services for NFS, SMB, and dual protocol support.

  • Move NFSv4.1 and SMB workloads to the cloud without refactoring.
  • No need to manage Windows or Linux servers just to provide file services.

High performance computing

To process, store, and analyze massive amounts of data, your shared file service needs lightning-fast, highly reliable storage solutions. Cloud Volumes Services for AWS is up to the challenge. It enables running HPC workloads in the cloud that benefits from elastic computing. This can be far less expensive than running on-prem and takes significantly fewer resources.

Windows file shares

Cloud Volumes Service for AWS provides scalable, highly available, high performance SMB shares with snapshots and full integration with Active Directory (standard and AWS managed). CVS supports SMB 2.1, 3.0 and 3.1.1 which enables all Windows versions in AWS to leverage CVS.

  • Customer challenges

    A software development firm wanted to migrate its Windows-based application to the cloud, but found that a lack of support for SMBv3 required them to either refactor their data or build their own SMB shared storage and file service solution. Upon deciding to build their own, they quicky found that the undertaking required additional resources and personnel that strained their budget.

  • Solution

    They tested Cloud Volumes Service because it provided a solution for cloud based shared storage for Windows Server without all the overhead and administration involved in a build-your-own solution. They were able to free up engineers and resources to speed up their development cycle and get their software to market faster.

  • Results with Cloud Volumes Service for AWS
    • Easy migration of Windows applications and users because no refactoring was required.
    • Saved money by no longer needing to maintain servers on-premises.
    • Reduced complexity of supporting SMBv3 in the cloud by providing an alternative to creating and managing their own cloud-based Windows storage server or a Samba server.

Critical infrastructure applications

Many critical business workloads and processes require multiple applications working together consistently and reliably. If a link fails, the entire business process is impacted. To move critical business processes to the cloud you need to be able to provide file services that provide consistent, predictable performance as well as high availability. Cloud Volumes Service for AWS provides the required availability, performance and simplicity needed.

By combining NetApp’s and Cascadeo’s expertise and learnings, we can help enterprises get complex workloads up-and-running on AWS quickly and drive better RoI.
