NetApp BlueXP

Hybrid Cloud Data Management

NetApp BlueXP (formerly NetApp Cloud Manager) is a hybrid cloud infrastructure, data, and services management platform. It enables end-to-end management of Cloud Volumes ONTAP. It integrates with a number of other NetApp multi-cloud solutions, including NetApp on-premises, AWS FSx for NetApp ONTAP, Azure NetApp Files, Cloud Volumes Service for Google Cloud Cloud Data Sense, Cloud Tiering, Cloud Backup Service, and more.

BlueXP is a unified control plane that enables you to manage your entire data landscape through one single, SaaS-delivered, point of control. Gone are the days of deploying, managing, and optimizing every environment in its own management framework and toolset, requiring specific competencies.

• There is no software or hardware to install and manage
• The intuitive interface and AI and ML-enabled automation, reduce both resources and the risk associated with managing disparate environments
• With intuitive wizards, recommended actions, and policy-based automation, generalists manage hybrid, multi-cloud environments at specialists' level, confidently
