I've had a chance to play with a few of the latest solutions and services in the NetApp cloud portfolio and in a few words, it delivers on simplicity!
- Cloud Sync Service - Move and synchronize data between on-premises storage and S3. The way it works is the service allows you sync any NFS filesystem with an S3 bucket in AWS. Two licensing options are available - subscribe through the AWS MarketPlace (pay as you go model) or BYOL (purchase a license from NetApp). The NFS data can be synchronized to the S3 bucket and also in the reverse direction. The interface has a cloud manager look and feel and I found it to be extremely intuitive to use.
- Cloud Backup Solution - My personal favorite. This solution delivers simplified end-to-end cloud backup for NetApp ONTAP® customers using NetApp SnapMirror® technology. Through integration with AltaVault and SnapCenter, customers can now easily assign hybrid cloud backup targets and quickly search and recover files from on-premises and public cloud repositories.
Two topologies are supported as shown below. The key drivers in this solution are ONTAP 9.1 SnapMirror, AltaVault, and SnapCenter 2.0. SC 2.0 adds data protection for NAS File Services. A new file catalog is available for fast and easy search and retrieval of files from on-premises or cloud storage. The drag and drop GUI supports configuring replication and retention policies.
