managed NetApp ONTAP file system in the cloud, making it easy for
customers to run their applications on AWS without changing their
code or how they manage data

Today, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc.
company (NASDAQ: AMZN), announced the general availability of
Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, a new storage service that allows
customers to launch and run complete, fully managed NetApp ONTAP
file systems in the cloud for the first time. ONTAP is NetApp’s
file system technology that has traditionally powered on-premises
network-attached storage (NAS) and provides a widely adopted set of
data access and management capabilities. Amazon FSx for NetApp
ONTAP enables customers to launch, run, and scale fully managed
NetApp ONTAP file storage on AWS with just a few clicks—giving
customers the ability to migrate their applications that rely on
NAS appliances to AWS without having to modify their applications,
tools, processes, or workflows. Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP now
makes it possible for customers to deploy and manage their
applications and data using the NAS workflows they already know and
use today, and enjoy the agility, scalability, and security of
AWS—along with seamless integration with other AWS services. There
are no upfront commitments or costs to use Amazon FSx for NetApp
ONTAP, and customers only pay for the resources used. To get
started with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, visit

Organizations of all sizes are migrating their on-premises
applications to the cloud to increase agility, accelerate
innovation, improve security, and reduce costs. Many of those
applications store the data they rely on in a NAS appliance,
providing multiple compute resources and multiple users with access
to shared data. Today, many organizations store and manage their
application data on premises using NAS appliances powered by ONTAP,
which provide storage and data management features that make it
easy to manage applications and workloads. For example, application
administrators depend on ONTAP to provide high-performance storage
with features that make it easy to support their applications like
multi-protocol access to network file shares, point-in-time
snapshots for data protection, and data replication and cloning for
redundancy. Storage administrators typically manage NetApp ONTAP
deployments for multiple users and groups, and rely on standardized
tools, workflows, and processes for managing file storage that are
built around ONTAP’s administrative capabilities and application
programming interfaces (APIs). Before today, if customers wanted to
migrate their applications to the cloud, they would need to forgo
the NAS data management capabilities they are familiar with, and in
many cases, re-architect their applications, tools, and workflows,
which required customers to expend time and effort to realize the
agility, scalability, and security of the cloud.
Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP now allows customers to launch, run,
and scale fully managed NetApp ONTAP file storage on AWS with just
a few clicks—giving customers the ability to migrate their
on-premises applications that rely on NetApp or other NAS
appliances to AWS without having to modify their applications or
how they manage their data. Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP offers
high-performance file storage that supports ONTAP’s familiar
capabilities and features, including multi-protocol access to
network file shares, point-in-time snapshots, SnapMirror (for data
replication), and FlexClone (for data cloning). Amazon FSx for
NetApp ONTAP also fully supports ONTAP’s storage efficiency
features (deduplication, compression, compaction, and thin
provisioning) so customers can take advantage of their on-premises
capabilities in the cloud. In addition to using the Amazon FSx API,
customers can also manage Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP using ONTAP
administrative APIs, allowing customers to continue deploying and
managing storage using their existing tools, workflows, and
processes. Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP provides high availability
and durability by automatically replicating data across multiple
Availability Zones, and it supports data replication and backups
across AWS Regions for even higher resiliency. With Amazon FSx for
NetApp ONTAP, customers can now take full advantage of NetApp ONTAP
as a fully managed service in the cloud for the first time and
enjoy familiar AWS APIs, tools, and seamless integration with other
AWS services for a unified application experience.
“In collaborating with NetApp to deliver Amazon FSx for NetApp
ONTAP, we’re giving customers the only complete cloud service that
is built on ONTAP and provides its most popular features and
capabilities,” said Wayne Duso, Vice President of File, Edge, and
Data Services at AWS. “Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP now makes it
even easier for customers to migrate applications and run them on
AWS using the same familiar file storage workflows and data
management capabilities they use today on premises.”
“NetApp is a cloud-led software company that specializes in
helping our customers get the most out of their data. ONTAP and its
data management capabilities are integral for so many
mission-critical workloads,” said Anthony Lye, Executive Vice
President and General Manager, Public Cloud Services, NetApp. “With
Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, we’ve brought NetApp’s trusted file
storage and data management capabilities to the AWS Cloud. By
providing a fully managed service that’s supported, run, and sold
by AWS, we’re making it simple for customers to leverage the power
of ONTAP for virtually any application.”
Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP joins Amazon FSx for Windows File
Server and Amazon FSx for Lustre as the newest file system offered
by Amazon FSx—a suite of file storage services that makes it easy
and cost effective to launch and run popular file systems that are
fully managed by AWS. Customers can get started using Amazon FSx
for NetApp ONTAP in minutes by creating a file system using the AWS
Management Console, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), the
Amazon FSx API, or NetApp’s Cloud Manager. Once a file system is
created, customers can access their data from Linux, macOS, or
Windows clients by mounting their file systems using either the
Network File System (NFS), Service Message Block (SMB), or Internet
Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) protocols. Customers can
also configure any additional NetApp ONTAP features using the
NetApp ONTAP REST API or CLI. As a fully managed service, Amazon
FSx for NetApp ONTAP manages provisioning file servers and storage
volumes, replicating data, installing file server software updates
and patches, and managing high-availability features.
