Announcing NetApp BlueXP: The Unified Data Experience for the Evolved Cloud

 SAN JOSE, Calif. 

NetApp BlueXP simplifies hybrid multicloud data storage with cost and performance optimization, security, and flexible consumption – all powered by state-of-the-art AIOps

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), a global, cloud-led, data-centric software company, today announced the availability of NetApp BlueXP, a unified control plane delivering a simple hybrid multicloud experience for storage and data services across on-premises and cloud environments.

Organizations today have increasingly moved to hybrid multicloud environments to accelerate their digital transformation and drive growth, even in uncertain times. But in managing these environments, companies face daunting challenges and inefficiencies that can impede innovation. With BlueXP, NetApp is leading the way to a more “evolved cloud” to simplify and automate critical operations across on-premises and public clouds in order to help organizations drive business impact and improve customer experience.

NetApp BlueXP allows users to manage their broader hybrid multicloud data estate, including on-premises unified storage and first-party native storage with the leading public cloud providers. Offering a simple, yet powerful experience driven by AIOps, BlueXP delivers integrated, broad data service capabilities to deploy, automate, discover, manage, protect, govern and optimize data, infrastructure, and the business processes that support them – with the flexible consumption options required in today’s cloud-led environment.

“Today’s cloud environments are complex. Organizations are looking for a better cloud experience – simpler, streamlined, governed, and optimized for performance and cost across their entire hybrid multicloud environment,” said Archana Venkatraman, Research Director, Cloud Data Management, IDC. “An ‘evolved cloud’ is one of the most grounded, AI-driven, and practical approaches to cloud management as a whole – and organizations will quickly benefit from migration to operations, to FinOps, to innovation.”

“With the launch of BlueXP, NetApp is uniquely positioned to help organizations unlock the promise of the cloud by making infrastructure, applications and data true assets to their business,” said George Kurian, Chief Executive Officer at NetApp. “By taking an evolved cloud approach, customers can integrate cloud into their architecture and operations, eliminate complexity and increase their speed of innovation to deliver quickly on the business outcomes that matter most.”

NetApp BlueXP capabilities include:

Unified Storage Management: The SaaS-delivered BlueXP global control plane gives a single point of visibility and management over wide-ranging hybrid multicloud environments. This includes the ability to manage NetApp AFF, FAS, StorageGRID, and E-Series on-premises storage, as well as the major clouds with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, Azure NetApp Files, Google Cloud Volumes Service and Cloud Volumes ONTAP, all in a single console.

AIOps-Driven Health: Integrated AI/ML-driven automation reduces manpower demands, resource loads, and risk profile, while AI-enabled health and status monitoring not only alerts of infrastructure and workload issues, but offers proactive guidance to avoid trouble scenarios. BlueXP integrates NetApp’s leading Active IQ technology for always-on telemetry across the hybrid multicloud.

Cyber Resilience: Unified control of data protection and security with an integrated zero-trust model. A single ransomware dashboard provides company-wide visibility into ransomware vulnerabilities with the ability to fix many issues automatically with a single click.

Governance at a Glance: A complete view of the digital estate to monitor compliance and permissions. The AI/ML capability audits both user and data level activity, immediately detecting anomalies and taking prescribed actions.

Seamless Mobility: Integrated data movers allow for copying, syncing, tiering, and caching data across all major clouds and the data center as easily as “drag and drop.” Integrated security and efficiencies ensure data is protected in transit and stored on the lower-cost storage tier possible.

Flexible Consumption: BlueXP allows customers to only pay for the capabilities they need, billed on usage. A Digital Wallet allows for licenses for data services to be easily interchanged as an enterprise’s needs change. NetApp Keystone, the leading Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) offering, is integrated into BlueXP to allow customers to manage their consumption-based data center storage side by side with their cloud storage.

“OpenText serves the majority of the Fortune 100 companies as customers, delivering enterprise-grade, cloud-native solutions and information management software that helps power their businesses,” said Mark J. Barrenechea, CEO and CTO, OpenText. “We are investing in centralizing systems to reduce complexity. As we help organizations move to the cloud, we are leveraging NetApp’s portfolio to actively monitor and manage our hybrid multicloud environment with a unified control plane, allowing us to efficiently onboard new customers to their cloud of choice in one seamless experience.”

NetApp BlueXP is the preferred method to manage NetApp ONTAP, NetApp's industry-leading data management software, both in the cloud and on-premises. The latest release of ONTAP, announced today, contains over twenty major innovations including a new tamper-proof snapshot feature and integrated AIOps-driven anti-ransomware protection, making ONTAP the leading option for secure data storage. In addition, an expansion of NetApp’s innovative unified multi-protocol technology allows simultaneous NAS file and S3 object access to the same data, increasing the flexibility of ONTAP as a repository for massive data lakes used for today's modern AI/ML pipelines.

Alibaba Cloud Showcases Wuying Cloudbook at Apsara Conference

 HANGZHOU, China - Wednesday, 02. November 2022

Supported by dedicated Wuying Architecture, Wuying Cloudbook provides enhanced security, flexibility and collaboration for the workplace in the digital age

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Alibaba Cloud, the digital technology and intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group, will be showcasing the new additions to its cloud computer offering at its Apsara Conference. The Wuying Cloudbook, empowered by Wuying Architecture, is designed to provide enterprises with unlimited computing power while helping them enhance data security, improve cost efficiency and facilitate collaboration in increasingly diverse hybrid office settings.

Drawing on the high levels of security, scalability and compatibility that characterize the cloud, the Wuying Cloudbook allows users to fully leverage the power of cloud computing while minimizing the workload for local devices. Users can scale computing power and storage up or down to meet their demands as and when they need, getting rid of the capacity restrictions of running large-scale software, such as video-rendering software, and enjoying a real-time interactive experience with low latency and high-quality images.

Wuying Cloudbook supports secure storage and transmission of massive volumes of organizational resources by centralizing and managing them in the cloud. It overcomes typical security challenges in enterprise environments, such as data loss and local device vulnerabilities, while allowing users to access organizational resources at any time, anywhere.

Wuying Cloudbook also extends the boundaries of collaboration, allowing users to run multiple operating systems, including Windows, Linux, or Android on it simultaneously. As the software is also deployed and running in the cloud, there is no need to download and install software on local devices, minimizing the requirement for storage capacity and the battery consumption of local devices. Wuying Cloudbook is an ideal choice for new ways of working, such as remote working, outsourcing, and collaboration between teams in different locations.

The scalability, security and flexibility of Wuying Cloudbook is supported by Alibaba Cloud’s Wuying Architecture, which is designed to optimize workload collaboration between cloud and local devices. The industry-leading architecture is compatible with devices ranging from laptops and tablets to any hardware that demands robust computing power. Leveraging this architecture, users can access unlimited computing power and storage capacity in any computing terminal.

“Wuying Architecture is a powerful extension and expansion of the workplace. It helps enterprises to enhance flexibility and improve operational efficiency. Taking advantage of cloud-based data security capabilities and tools, Wuying provides additional assurance to safeguarding corporate information security,” said Jiangwei JIANG, Senior Researcher and General Manager of Infrastructure Products, Alibaba Cloud Intelligence. “Thanks to its compatibility, Wuying Architecture brings the benefits of cloud computing to hardware brands, software vendors and enterprises, as well as individual users.”

The Wuying Cloudbook, will be demonstrated at the exhibition area at Alibaba Cloud’s Apsara Conference, features an ultra-thin body just 13.9mm deep and a 14-inch touch-screen. An unboxing video, giving a preview of the device, is available here. With this new addition, Alibaba Cloud now offers cloud computing in the form of a card, a box, an all-in-one PC, a laptop and a Desktop-as-a Service (DaaS) application.

Customer experiences with Wuying: Automotive and Education

In China, IM Motors, an intelligent electric vehicle company, is the first in the automobile industry to adopt Wuying in product design. At the R&D stage, teams in different locations need to collaborate closely. Using Wuying, the design documents can be accessed by multiple teams in multiple locations.

“The automobile industry traditionally relied heavily on offline collaboration, as large-scale workstations were necessary for many work processes. Wuying is a dream come true for our sector. Not only does it offer the necessary computing power to support the intense workload, but it also eases our anxiety around data security when transmitting and sharing confidential design files, allowing us to focus our attention on the design itself,” said Jiao XIANG, Executive Director of Intelligence Research Center, IM Motors.

East China Normal University is one of the early adopters of Wuying in education. The cloud computer has replaced traditional server rooms in research projects, allowing students to work seamlessly on their projects when they move from laboratories to classrooms and dormitories, as the research data has been centralized in the cloud. Research efficiency has also been greatly improved by running data analytics on the cloud.

“This mobile research mode offered by Wuying has proven to be very valuable for professors and students alike. On-the-cloud laboratories provide unlimited computing power, overcoming the limitations of latency and bandwidth in a localized setting. In addition, it’s a powerful, 24/7 service, which helps us obtain research results in a much shorter time,” said Wei WANG, professor of the School of Data Science and Engineering, East China Normal University.

Apsara Conference opens tomorrow

As well as showcasing the Wuying Cloudbook, Alibaba Cloud’s annual Apsara Conference, which opens on November 3 in Hangzhou and runs until November 5, will shed light on the tech leader’s business strategy, products and partnerships.

MEPRA receives record award entries as agencies, in-house teams showcase their best PR campaigns

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Wednesday, 02. November 2022

The Middle East Public Relations Association (MEPRA) announced today that it has received a record-breaking of close to 800 award entries from regional public relations agencies and in-house communications departments for this year’s premier awards gala event.

The annual MEPRA Awards is the most coveted event of its kind and is open to all Middle East-based agencies, corporates, government organizations and non-profits working in the PR and communications profession.

This year will see agencies and in-house teams and practitioners compete across 44 hotly-contested award categories including Best in Market, People & Teams, Techniques, and Sector & Services, for a chance to be crowned as victors.

In its 14th edition, the MEPRA Awards will feature a brand-new sponsorship category - Diamond Sponsor - which Weber Shandwick has taken up.

The winners in their respective categories will be announced at a glamorous black-tie ceremony marking a celebration of the brightest, boldest, and bravest in Middle East PR that will take place on Thursday, December 8, 2022, at Atlantis, The Palm.

The 2022 MEPRA Awards comes hot on the heels of changes in the organization with the recent appointment of Rym Rahal as the general manager who is expected to drive the organization’s overall growth and elevate MEPRA’s industry benchmarks in communications and PR.

Rym Rahal, a marketing and brand strategist, brings on board her vast expertise in marketing and brand strategy to drive MEPRA’s ambitious growth plans. Under her leadership and over a decade-long experience in the UAE, MEPRA will gain deeper market insights needed to boost its competitive edge and grow its membership in the region.

Rym is known to be a proven team leader who spins challenges into opportunities and has been trained under the seasoned wings of industry stalwarts like Mohammed Jaffar, the co-founder of Talabat. Her prior influential stint at the successful conceptualization and launch of Just Clean, GCC’s first on-demand laundry app will be instrumental in guiding MEPRA to effectively establish a solid ground and foundation in the region and be known as the leading regional platform for PR and Communications in the GCC.”

“We are once again delighted to announce this year’s MEPRA Awards, which is the region’s most coveted platform that seeks to recognize excellence in public relations. This year also marks 14 years since the initiative was started - a phenomenal milestone that demonstrates the consistent growth of the region’s PR sector. In line with our mission to elevate regional PR intelligence and performance measurement parameters to bring quality to the forefront, it’s encouraging to witness remarkable growth in participation as industry practitioners benchmark their work against their peers and gain recognition from the largest professional PR association in the region,” said Rym.

Shortlisted entries will be announced on November 9 following a rigorous judging process, which will be conducted by a team of the industry’s communications experts.

NetApp Delivers Portfolio Innovations to Address Skyrocketing Energy Costs, Heightened Sustainability Goals for Global Organizations

 Company commits to 50% intensity reduction of Scope 3 GHG emissions and science-aligned target for Scopes 1 and 2 by 2030

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), a global, cloud-led, data-centric software company today announced availability of new ways for companies to monitor, manage, and optimize their carbon footprints across their hybrid, multi-cloud environments. The company also outlined its commitment to achieve a 50 percent intensity reduction of Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions (produced by an organization’s value chain) by 2030, and a 42 percent reduction of Scope 1 (controlled or owned by an organization) and Scope 2 (electricity, heat, and cooling purchases) GHG emissions through adoption of a science-aligned target.

“The unparalleled environmental challenges we face require everyone to be a part of the solution. We are deeply integrating sustainability into the strategy and operational priorities of our business,” said George Kurian, Chief Executive Officer at NetApp. “It’s our belief that the world’s ongoing energy challenges require innovative solutions and we’re steadfastly committed to continuing to develop energy-efficient technologies and solutions that allow our customers to greatly reduce their carbon footprint. We’re also committed to expanding sustainable practices within our own business by setting a bold, but achievable target of a 50 percent intensity reduction of Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas emissions by 2030.”

With new tools and resources announced at NetApp INSIGHT, organizations can more effectively achieve their carbon reduction goals while meeting their own customer demands:

NetApp BlueXP delivers a unified experience across hybrid multi-cloud environments to bring all application and data storage services into a single control plane. BlueXP provides power-consumption reporting with dashboards that allow companies to make decisions about moving critical data to balance business needs with carbon efficiency.

NetApp Cloud Insights Dashboard is a new feature that reports on power usage and temperature for ONTAP storage. NetApp Cloud Insights provides visibility and reporting of an organization’s use of compute and storage across all on-premises and cloud environments to find and address waste and inefficiencies, which helps customers make informed decisions that can reduce costs and waste, including those around reducing emissions.

Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) carbon footprint reports leveraging the Product Attribute Impact Algorithm (PAIA) methodology. NetApp was the first storage-focused provider to join PAIA, a consortium of information and communication technology peers, sponsored by MIT. The PAIA consortium allows NetApp to produce a streamlined LCA for its products that is aligned with leading standards including EPEAT, IEEE 1680.1 and the French product labeling initiative Grenelle.

NetApp’s 4:1 Storage Efficiency Guarantee for SAN workloads is NetApp’s promise that companies can store more data with less storage, which reduces energy usage and GHG emissions. The guarantee covers all ONTAP all-flash systems including AFF A-Series, AFF C190, All SAN Array, and FAS500f.

NetApp’s entire portfolio of products and services enable customers to build out the hybrid multi-cloud environments that meet their business and sustainability objectives and provide a holistic, comprehensive approach to creating a more sustainable IT structure.

NetApp Cloud Tiering allows companies to automatically and seamlessly move infrequently used data, often 60 percent or more of a company’s total data estate, from on-premises ONTAP storage to the cloud. For data that must remain in the data center, Cloud Tiering reduces the amount of raw storage needed through deduplication, compression and compaction. With Cloud Tiering, over a five-year period, NetApp’s midrange storage customers reduce their emissions by up to 56.3 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e).

NetApp Cloud Data Sense is a data catalog and classification solution that uses artificial intelligence to map and classify all cloud and on-premises data. Understanding the data can help IT organizations reduce storage costs and improve sustainability through better decision-making, for example by identifying cold data that resides on-premises and may be moved to the cloud to reduce energy used in the data center.

NetApp Active IQ (AIQ) is an AIOps engine that tallies the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for frequently used and accessed data stored on-premises, and NetApp’s Cloud Tiering TCO tool calculates the savings generated by moving to the cloud.

NetApp Harvest 2.0 and Grafana Dashboard for ONTAP provide real-time insights into the power consumption of NetApp hardware while NetApp Fusion, a sizing and configuration tool, provides environmental specifications by specific configuration.

“Companies need visibility into, and insight on, the sustainability and efficiency state of their hybrid, multi-cloud environments to better understand where they can make changes to reduce their carbon footprints,” said Cesar Cernuda, President at NetApp. “NetApp’s ongoing commitment to innovation in our product portfolio, combined with the company’s decarbonization efforts, provide organizations with the tools and resources they need to reduce costs, run more efficient operations, and enable emissions-based decision making in order to achieve their own sustainability goals.”

NetApp’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitment and leadership has been recognized by external experts, including EcoVadis who recently awarded NetApp a Gold ranking. This evidence based ESG rating agency provides supplier ratings across the elements of environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. A Gold rank puts NetApp among the top 7 percent of all companies rated by EcoVadis.

NetApp is a founding member of the Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR program for data center storage, with multiple storage systems certified as ENERGY STAR 2.1 products, including NetApp AFF, FAS and E-Series data storage systems.

Later this year, NetApp’s third ESG Impact Report will be published. The report covers NetApp’s ESG strategies, activities, progress, metrics and performance for global operations for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2022.
