At its INSIGHT conference last week, NetApp announced the availability of BlueXP, a unified control plane delivering a hybrid multicloud experience for storage and data services across on-premises and cloud environments. The company says it is the preferred way to manage NetApp ONTAP data management software, both in the cloud and on-premises.
BlueXP’s capabilities include integrated broad data service capabilities to deploy, automate, discover, manage, protect, govern, and optimize data, infrastructure, and the business processes that support them, with charges based on usage.
NetApp Keystone, the company’s Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) offering, is integrated into BlueXP, which it says will allow customers to manage their consumption-based data centre storage side by side with their cloud storage.
