Power your enterprise applications in the cloud with unified block and file storage

Google Cloud NetApp Volumes introduces new features to simplify enterprise application migration to the cloud. The service now supports unified iSCSI block and file storage, facilitating SAN migrations. NetApp FlexCache accelerates hybrid cloud workloads by providing local read caches for faster data access. This integration allows distributed teams to access shared datasets efficiently. NetApp Volumes integrates with Gemini Enterprise, enabling retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) on secure data. This integration leverages your existing data within NetApp Volumes for AI model grounding. New features include NetApp SnapMirror for seamless data replication with minimal RPO/RTO. Large-capacity volumes, ranging up to 3 PiB, cater to demanding applications like AI and HPC. Auto-tiering optimizes costs by moving less-accessed data to lower-cost storage tiers. These updates enable modernization of various data-intensive workloads on Google Cloud with optimized performance and cost control.
