NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP (CVO) for Azure: Advisory, Implementation and Managed Services

NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP (CVO) on Azure is an enterprise-grade data management system that complements Azure native services. Its operational and storage efficiencies dramatically reduce administration time, storage footprints, and costs. Cloud Volumes ONTAP running natively in the cloud will enable you to host your business applications seamlessly in the cloud. Cloud Volumes ONTAP makes use of cloud infrastructure to create a virtual NetApp appliance with all the features of an on-premises storage system. Cloud Volumes ONTAP and ONTAP deployed on-premises use the same operating system, allowing them to seamlessly integrate to create a hybrid cloud environment. Kyndryl is proud to offer a wide range of services with NetApp CVO for Azure to support your business’s journey.
