NetApp at public edge

Managing data intelligently.

Go to NetApp

Data management across every environment

NetApp is one of the leading unified-storage providers. The core strength lies in classic ONTAP file (NAS) and block storage (SAN) on a shared platform – proven, highly available on-premises storage for running your own data center.

At public edge, we see NetApp primarily as a reliable file and block storage building block for running your own data center – including as OEM storage within other vendors’ server landscapes.

Our assessment

What we look at

NetApp is especially strong where highly available file and block storage is needed in your own data center.

In our projects, we assess factors including
data sovereignty and storage location integration into existing environments scalability cost-efficiency over the lifecycle digital sovereignty requirements

Not every environment benefits from an additional storage vendor. What matters is whether the solution fits the functional, organizational and economic requirements.

The public edge perspective

Technology is not an end in itself.

That’s why we always assess every manufacturer in the context of possible alternatives and concrete project goals. Our job is not to sell a particular vendor, but to help public-sector clients make sound, long-term decisions.

Sovereign IT is not the result of vendor preferences, but of the right architecture for the task at hand.
