Storage vendor NetApp this week announced updates to its OnCommand management software to control, automate and analyze shared storage infrastructure, particularly in cloud environments.
Additionally, to extend the new capabilities beyond storage, NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) said it is signing up more cloud management providers to its Alliance Technology Partner Program (ATPP).
The purpose is to achieve integration between OnCommand and leading cloud management products to provide pre-validated solutions for end-to-end management of the entire cloud infrastructure, according to the company.
“Enterprises, government organizations and partners are turning to NetApp to help them transition to a flexible and efficient shared IT infrastructure — the foundation for cloud computing — that will help them be ready for the future and enable IT to accelerate business growth,” Val Bercovici, NetApp’s “cloud czar,” said in a statement.
