NetApp HCI
NetApp HCI is an enterprise-centric platform based on SolidFire and its Element software, allowing for workload protection for applications, which lets users consume public cloud services on-premises while also offering the flexibility of scaling compute or storage nodes independently.
The platform includes NetApp’s Data Fabric unified suite of data services that provides consistent data services across on-premises, private cloud and public cloud platforms. NetApp’s Kubernetes Service on HCI not only automates the deployment of Kubernetes but includes an application orchestration tool and access to the company’s application marketplace. NetApp HCI includes Intel Xeon CPUs and VMware or RedHat hypervisors.
In November, NetApp HCI became validated to work with Google Cloud’s application Anthos platform to reliably deploy and run their applications. Customers can now orchestrate complex hybrid cloud environments that ties together Google Cloud and NetApp HCI on-premises with the ability to scale on demand and add compute or capacity as needed.
