Now with unmatched savings and sustainability for block storage

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 25 October 2023 – NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), a global cloud-led, data centric software company, today announced several updates to the industry’s only unified data storage solution including new block storage products driving unmatched savings and sustainability, multiple improvements to public cloud storage services, and updates to NetApp Keystone Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) —all designed to drive simplicity, savings, security, and sustainability for customers.

Over two decades ago, NetApp introduced unified storage to the industry. Today, NetApp extends the definition of unified data storage to an entire architecture that enables file, block, and object workloads. Unified data storage provides a common storage operating system that spans multiple on-premises storage offerings and every major public cloud, unified by a common API set and single control plane. This includes the leading unified all-Flash storage, NetApp AFF, the new block-optimized all-Flash storage, NetApp ASA, and the only first-party, cloud-native storage solutions running on all of the three largest public clouds with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, Microsoft Azure NetApp Files, and Google Cloud NetApp Volumes.

“As we unveil updates to our enterprise-grade storage portfolio, we’re setting the stage for a transformative era in data management,” said Harv Bhela, Chief Product Officer at NetApp. “NetApp’s portfolio, spanning on-premises and all major public clouds, reinforces our dedication to customers to deliver unified storage solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern enterprises and provide unmatched simplicity, savings, security, and sustainability.”

Delivering unmatched savings and sustainability for block storage

Earlier this year, NetApp introduced the AFF C-Series system, an industry-leading unified-capacity flash storage offering, and it has become the fastest ramping product introduction in company history.

Over 20,000 customers trust NetApp for block workloads running on its mission-critical SAN infrastructure. To better serve these customers and the overall block storage market, NetApp introduced the NetApp All-Flash SAN Array (ASA) earlier this year. The NetApp ASA provides enterprise-grade block storage with guaranteed availability and efficiency.

“NetApp’s all-flash SAN storage made a big difference in our critical infrastructure environment, including VMware and S/4 HANA,” said Tristan Roberts. Digital Infrastructure Leader at TasNetworks. “It greatly simplified our data management with integrated data protection and disaster recovery and enabled us to achieve simplified business continuity with MetroCluster. We are always interested in enhancements to the product set, including the greater outcomes for cost-efficiency and sustainability with ASA C-series.”

Driving capacity flash and block storage innovation even further, NetApp announced the new NetApp ASA C-Series family today at NetApp INSIGHT 2023. The ASA C-Series uses capacity flash for the best balance of performance and cost savings in the industry, with leading sustainability. Delivering the speed of flash at close to disk prices, the NetApp ASA provides a 4:1 storage efficiency guarantee and a Six Nines (99.9999%) data availability guarantee*. With industry-leading cyber-resilience, the ASA C-Series is also eligible for the NetApp Ransomware Recovery Guarantee*, and is cloud connected to allow for disaster recovery, backup, and tiering to cloud, allowing organizations to modernize their environments, optimizing data storage for VMware vSphere, and accelerating SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL database workloads, with integrated application-aware backup.

“NetApp ASA storage provides customers with a tailored solution to deliver high-performance and guaranteed high availability (99.9999%) storage for critical applications, databases, and VMware infrastructure, without creating bespoke infrastructure silos,” said Sandeep Singh, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Enterprise Storage at NetApp. “Our ASA C-Series now redefines block storage, combining these unmatched ASA storage capabilities and capacity flash, making enterprise-grade block storage more affordable and sustainable than ever.”

“The data deluge today means that enterprises need to better manage their ever-expanding data estate across on-premise and multi cloud deployments. The need for data storage solutions that can balance simplicity, security and cost efficiency has become a business imperative,” said Andrew Sotiropoulos, Senior Vice President and General Manager, NetApp Asia Pacific. “With our latest product portfolio, NetApp can empower enterprises with greater control over their data estate while also addressing their sustainability and ESG needs.”

To help customers make a no-regrets move to a NetApp block storage solution, a variety of services are now available at no additional cost. This includes up-front solution design assessment that includes the evaluation of any existing architecture, free data migration, software license and services, or three months of complimentary NetApp storage support during the migration period and free training workshops.*

Ongoing enhancements to the only first-party, cloud-native storage across the three largest public clouds

NetApp first introduced its enterprise storage into the public cloud nearly a decade ago, in 2014. Today, NetApp has the only first-party, cloud-native storage offered on all three of the largest public clouds.

Google Cloud NetApp Volumes was just introduced in August 2023, and already is being enhanced with a new Standard service layer, driving an over 30% reduction in cost/GB, while still supplying the same multi-protocol files services with integrated data protection, available across 14 Google Cloud regions.

Meanwhile, Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP will lower overall TCO by taking advantage of VPC Peering to connect to VMware Cloud on AWS. The addition of unified file and object access via the ONTAP S3 API simplifies data access for cloud native applications developed to utilize object storage. Microsoft Azure NetApp Files now has enhanced capacity scaling, enhanced performance for Oracle databases and support for transparent automated tiering of data to the Azure Cool Blob tier for improved cost savings.

Delivering new Storage-as-a-Service options and improved assurance with NetApp Keystone.

NetApp continues to drive new options for customers to consume the strongest enterprise storage portfolio. Earlier this month, Equinix and NetApp announced NetApp Storage on Equinix Metal, powered by NetApp Keystone, lets organizations power business-critical workloads with a full stack solution, through a single monthly invoice

Today, NetApp enhanced its Keystone Storage-as-a-Service, delivering the most comprehensive set of guarantees for a STaaS offering. Customers can now take advantage of integrated performance and availability guarantees*. The previously announced Keystone sustainability service-level agreement (SLA) helps companies reduce their carbon footprints with automated data tiering, sustainability monitoring, and cancellation of overprovisioning, on premises and in the cloud. NetApp is also previewing a goal to offer a ransomware recovery guarantee for Keystone in the next 90 days.*

“NetApp continues to drive innovation across the enterprise and the public cloud with its unified data storage portfolio,” said Ashish Nadkarni, Group Vice President and General Manager, Infrastructure Systems, Platforms and Technologies and BuyerView Research at IDC. “Customer demand continues to grow for simplified storage at a lower cost and less environmental impact, and the new NetApp ASA C-Series will be a formidable option for these customers. NetApp’s Keystone program continues to grow, offering customers the guarantee they need.”

NetApp Advances the State of AI & Secure Infrastructure at INSIGHT 2023

Delivering a True Data Pipeline for AI & Best-in-Class Ransomware Defense

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 25 October 2023 – NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), a global cloud-led, data centric software company, today announced multiple innovative portfolio updates, including enhancements to the industry’s best data pipeline for hybrid multi-cloud AI and advancements on the most secure data storage against ransomware. These illustrate NetApp’s industry-leading solutions drive simplicity, savings, security, and sustainability for customers.

image_1.jpeg

“There are two major disruptions today for customers: the opportunity of AI and the threat of ransomware,” said Harv Bhela, Chief Product Officer at NetApp. “Today, NetApp unveiled new innovations that make the AI data pipeline simple to deploy as well as scalable and performant across your hybrid multi-cloud data estate – while protecting that same data from ever-increasing threats. These solutions position us at the forefront of creating successful business AI outcomes for our customers.”

The industry’s best data pipeline for AI

To stay competitive, enterprises must innovate and boost efficiency through their AI initiatives but may struggle to get meaningful results from massive amounts of disparate data flowing unhindered through a five-stage pipeline. The datasets necessary to feed these pipelines may live in data lakes throughout the enterprise, on premises and/or in the cloud. This increases design and operational complexity where data silos lead to a lack of visibility into data types and locations, making it difficult to manage or use in AI workloads.

As the leader in hybrid multicloud, NetApp eases this complexity by delivering high performance all-flash and cloud storage that enable customers to build modern data lakes and accelerate AI. Users can trace multiple AI model versions in production back to their training data to ensure they are using AI responsibly and storage is integrated with MLOps platforms so data scientist experience easier consumption and increased productivity.

The ONTAP AI converged infrastructure stack leverages the world’s most successful AI supercomputing system – NVIDIA DGX – to enable enterprises everywhere to tackle the most complex AI workloads with an infrastructure solution that eliminates design and deployment complexity. Today, NetApp announced that the AFF C-Series with capacity flash has been added to the ONTAP AI architecture to improve affordability and sustainability.

“Enterprises that want to tap into the power of generative AI need a platform that can deliver fully customized models leveraging the immense corpus of their business data, tailored to their unique vocabulary, intellectual property, and industry,” said Charlie Boyle, Vice President, DGX platform at NVIDIA. “Powered by NVIDIA DGX systems and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, NetApp ONTAP AI enables businesses to tap into their data to deliver generative AI applications by leveraging a scalable, efficient, rapidly deployable infrastructure solution.”

“AI adoption continues to grow especially in Asia Pacific. For AI implementations to be successful, organizations must have a holistic strategy across their organization. This includes the management of data pipeline and storage,” said Andrew Sotiropoulos, Senior Vice President and General Manager, NetApp Asia Pacific. “NetApp contributes to AI as we provide scalable, secure and efficient storage solutions which enable organizations to unlock new AI opportunities for innovation and business growth.”

NetApp continues to build AI data pipelines that integrate into all three major public clouds for a true hybrid multicloud experience. Yesterday at NetApp INSIGHT 2023, Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian spoke to the ongoing innovation and partnership between NetApp and his company, highlighting the August 2023 introduction of Google Cloud NetApp Volumes. Today, NetApp and Google are announcing support for Google Cloud’s Vertex AI with Google Cloud NetApp Volumes to support hybrid Generative AI applications.

“Launched in August, Google Cloud NetApp Volumes revolutionizes enterprise workloads in the cloud, with new levels of storage performance combined with simplicity and flexibility,” said Ronen Schwartz, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Cloud Storage at NetApp. “For customers investing in Generative AI data pipelines, this offering allows NetApp data on-premises to connect directly to Google’s Vertex AI on Google Cloud NetApp Volumes, with no additional engineering.”

With Google Cloud NetApp Volumes, NetApp became the only company to deliver the same enterprise storage offering on-premises and as a native first-party service in the three largest public clouds, that also include Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure.

With advancements to its cloud machine learning technology, Amazon Sagemaker, already supporting Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, will add Amazon Sagemaker notebooks, which can access AWS FSx for NetApp ONTAP via the native S3 object protocol–even for data originally stored in the NFS file format on-premises or in a different cloud.

“Generative AI is a powerful tool with the potential to help companies achieve transformational business insights and operational efficiencies,” said Archana Venkatraman, Research Director, Cloud Data Management, IDC Europe. “However, AI workloads are only as powerful as the data they receive. Companies need a solid foundation of unified data management to ensure data flows to their respective AI infrastructures unhindered. The latest innovations from NetApp show deep and focused thought over the last five years about helping organizations collect, prepare, and manage their data wherever it lives. This rooted approach reflects the reality of how organizations build AI infrastructure and store data across on-prem, hybrid, and public cloud environments.”

Market-leading data storage security against ransomware and expanded disaster recovery

In 2023, the vast majority of ransomware attacks caused losses ranging between $1M and $2.25M. To mitigate this, NetApp is helping customers protect themselves and their data with the most secure storage in the industry and backing it with a leading Ransomware Recovery Guarantee.

Leveraging ONTAP’s unique combination of key built-in security and ransomware protection features, ONTAP can automatically block known malicious file types, rogue admins, and malicious users with multi-admin verification, and provide tamper-proof snapshots that can’t be deleted – even by the storage administrator. With industry-leading threat detection efficacy, ONTAP’s autonomous ransomware protection can detect attacks in near real time, take additional snapshots, and enable recovery within minutes.

Today, NetApp extended its Ransomware Recovery Guarantee is available for all on-premises NetApp ONTAP-based storage systems, including NetApp AFF, ASA and FAS. With this guarantee, NetApp will warrant snapshot data recovery in the event of a ransomware attack. If data copies can’t be recovered through NetApp or one of its trusted partners, NetApp will offer compensation*.

“NetApp customers can harness their data for agile application delivery with resilience and governance to ensure business continuity,” said Takeshi Sato, Shibaura Institute of Technology. “These updates position NetApp squarely as the industry’s most secure data storage against ransomware.”

In conjunction with the Ransomware Recovery Guarantee, NetApp provides customers with added peace of mind with its Ransomware Assurance Service, which helps ensure their systems are protected against ransomware attacks. This service validates a customer’s configuration for secured data snapshots and conducts a recovery test. With a dedicated team always available, customers can rely on NetApp to assist in data recovery in the event of an attack.

NetApp and its partners drive security and resiliency across the entire infrastructure stack. For example, NetApp’s partnership with Cisco delivered a collection of secure architectures for FlexPod converged infrastructure, which include ransomware recovery and secure segmentation.

NetApp also announced the public preview of a new disaster recovery (DR) solution for VMware, integrated directly into the NetApp BlueXP unified control plane. NetApp provides the only storage available on premises and on every major public cloud for VMware infrastructure. NetApp can provide a single solution for DR from on premises to the cloud, minimizing the cost of providing standby DR infrastructure. With the new NetApp BlueXP DR for VMware solution, a few simple steps enable easy failover and failback from an on-premises VMware infrastructure directly to the public cloud, starting with AWS FSx for NetApp ONTAP, or to an alternative on-premises data center.

Asian businesses bolster credit risk management amid optimism for future growth, Atradius survey reveals

70% of Asian companies polled anticipate a demand surge in the coming months, while showing a strong commitment to address payment challenges arising from business-to-business (B2B) trade.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 25 October 2023 – While there is an anticipation of global trade expanding by slightly over 2% in 2024, the pace of growth in Asia is forecasted to remain subdued and may not be as robust as it was in previous years. The key factor inhibiting growth can be attributed to an ongoing underperformance in exports, which is likely to continue in the short-term due to weaker demand from Asia’s main export markets, such as the United States and European Union, and could potentially weaken the domestic resilience shown by Asian economies this year.

One illustration of this is a 6% overall drop in Asian businesses B2B trading on credit over the past year with variations in different markets. Taiwan and Singapore saw significant drops, while China and Vietnam experienced an increase in B2B sales on credit.

However, as Asian businesses look ahead, their optimism about their growth prospects becomes clear, as evidenced by the findings of our survey of companies polled in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam for the 2023 edition of the Atradius Payment Practices Barometer survey for Asia. Our survey revealed that 70% of Asian companies expect rising demand for their products and services in the months ahead.

In addition to expressing optimism about future business growth, our survey revealed a strong commitment among businesses polled in Asia to addressing the challenges posed by deteriorating business-to-business (B2B) payment practices, which are reflective of the vulnerabilities affecting the global economy and marketplace.

While the landscape varies from market to market, a common denominator is, therefore, the widespread attention Asian businesses place on maintaining strong cashflow and liquidity. Robust measures to mitigate cashflow risks are already evident across various Asian economies, notably in China, Japan, and India.

More than 50% of companies in the region told us they increased efforts to collect overdue B2B invoices during the past 12 months, a policy complemented in each market by specific credit risk management tactics. These efforts had a positive impact, with late payments across Asia declining by 12% over the past year, now affecting 44% of all B2B invoiced sales. Bad debts also declined slightly, standing at 5% of all B2B invoiced sales.

Companies in Vietnam, Singapore and China reported success in mitigating the impact of late payments. The survey underscores the adaptability of Asian businesses in the current economic turbulence, emphasizing the importance of thorough risk assessment when trading on credit with B2B customers.

Andreas Tesch, Chief Market Officer of Atradius stated, “The flexible approach to credit management demonstrated by Asian businesses, which involves trade credit insurance for 47% of companies polled, is particularly relevant because it enables them to seize opportunities in a growing market while safeguarding against potential credit-related risks in B2B trade activities. Their ability to integrate trade credit insurance into their risk management framework showcases their resilience and forward-thinking approach to business operations and cash flow risks mitigation.”

As the eighth consecutive year of “Stroke Prevention Campaign”, Beijing Tong Ren Tang continues to spread awareness for stroke prevention and share the brand’s spirit of “Nurturing Kindness and Virtue. Preserving Tranquility and Wellness”. According to the World Stroke Organization, one in six people will suffer from a stroke, while one dies from a stroke every six seconds. As an aggressive, rapidly evolving cerebrovascular disease, stroke can cause permanent brain damage and is the leading cause of disabilities worldwide. Long work hours, an unhealthy diet, and a lack of exercise are all potential risks of stroke. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Regimen and Culture Exhibition will hopefully help participants learn more about effective health and wellness methods via TCM and offer encouragement to implement TCM into daily practice and lead a healthier lifestyle.
