#NetApp has added a few more capabilities and buffed up some products to make sure customers using its hybrid on-premises-public cloud facilities have a smoother ride. There's nothing dramatic here but rough edges have been sanded and partners can provide NetApp #PrivateStorage as a service. Under the #DataFabric umbrella there are updated versions of #AltaVault, #StorageGRID Webscale, and SnapCenter, and more comprehensive backup and syncing with the Amazon and Azure public clouds. A new version of AltaVault, NetApp's backup data target gateway, integrates with SnapMirror, so it can get backup data off an ONTAP array and send it to AltaVault for onwards despatch to on-premises object stores or public clouds. StorageGRID Webscale, to give the StorageGRID object storage product its full name, gets "a full solution stack integrated and distributed by NetApp", meaning NetApp has soaked, washed, rinsed, texturised and dried the component code behind it. It gets a few added functions, like support for S3 versioning and the ability, in the UI, to simulate the effects of changing storage policies on objects. SnapCenter gets new application plug-ins and a capability to create custom plug-ins for third-party applications and databases. There is a new GUI with pre-defined protection relationships and backup policies for cloud-integrated backup.
