Block storage is offered as a service by all major cloud providers. But it these services differ between cloud providers and lack features that are available on on-premises block storage, such as storage efficiencies, built-in data resilience, replication and cloning tools.
Cloud Volumes ONTAP provides centrally managed high-performance block storage with enhanced resilience delivered natively on AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. Simply attach Cloud Volumes ONTAP block storage to one or multiple cloud-based applications, databases and containers and get built-in backup, security, and performance monitoring. Cloud Volumes runs within your VPC/VNet and utilizes cloud disks (block) and buckets (object) to optimize performance while reducing storage costs.
Create iSCSI block volume
Mount on compute instance
Migrate data to block volumes
High availability with data loss prevention (RPO=0) and automatic quick failover (RTO < 60sec).
98% less time to recover from outages with NetApp Snapshots.
Multiple concurrent writes and intelligent caching for increasing response time and reducing latency.
Built in storage efficiencies that drastically reduce storage costs and auto-tiering infrequently-used data to object storage.
Rapid “lift and shift” applications that use iSCSI data to the cloud without rearchitecting.
Same capabilities across on-premises and different cloud environments.
Instant, non-disruptive data cloning for creating testing environments out of production data.
