New Google Cloud NetApp Volumes capabilities
and integrations make the cloud more secure and simple for key
initiatives such as generative AI
NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the intelligent data infrastructure
company, today announced an expansion of its partnership with
Google Cloud to make it easier for organizations to leverage their
data for generative AI (GenAI) and other hybrid cloud workloads.
NetApp and Google Cloud are announcing the Flex service level for
Google Cloud NetApp Volumes which supports storage volumes of
nearly any size. NetApp is also releasing a preview of its GenAI
toolkit reference architecture for retrieval-augmented generation
(RAG) operations using Google Cloud Vertex AI platform.
More Flexible Data Storage Options for Google Cloud NetApp
Volumes
Google Cloud and NetApp are announcing a new service level for
NetApp Volumes called Flex that gives customers more granular
control to adapt their storage and performance to match the exact
needs of their cloud workloads.
“Increasing demand for data-intensive applications and insights
has reinforced the need for a new approach to unified data storage
that gives organizations the agility to move and store data
wherever it is needed at any point in time,” said Pravjit Tiwana,
Senior Vice President and General Manager, Cloud Storage at NetApp.
“By extending our collaboration with Google Cloud, we’re delivering
a flexible form factor that can be run on existing infrastructure
across Google Cloud system without any tradeoffs to enterprise data
management capabilities.”
With the addition of Flex, NetApp Volumes customers can choose
from four service levels to leverage a fully managed file service
built on NetApp ONTAPTM and operated by Google Cloud,
including:
- Standard: highly available, general-purpose storage with
advanced data management capabilities and 16MiB/sec per TiB of
performance, which is recommended to support workloads such as file
shares, virtual machines (VMs), and DevTest environments.
- Premium: highly available, high-performance storage with
advanced data management capabilities and 64MiB/sec per TiB of
performance, which is recommended for file shares, VMs, and
databases.
- Extreme: highly available, low-latency, high-throughput
storage with advanced data management capabilities and 128MiB/sec
per TiB of performance, which is recommended for Online Transaction
Processing (OLTP) high-performance databases and low-latency
applications.
- Flex: highly available storage volumes with scalability
from one GiB to 100TiB and up to one GiB/s of performance depending
on the size of the underlying storage pool. This adaptable service
level can support a wide variety of use cases, including AI.
“Google Cloud NetApp Volumes remains a critical component of
every enterprise’s digital transformation strategy,” said Sameet
Agarwal, GM/VP, Google Cloud Storage at Google Cloud. “Utilizing
Google Cloud technologies, NetApp Volumes will power new
capabilities that can improve how businesses operate and create
real-world value for their organizations.”
The Flex service level will be generally available by Q2 2024
across 15 Google Cloud regions, expanding to the other Google Cloud
regions by the end of 2024.
Unlocking Enterprise Data for Generative AI in Google
Cloud
NetApp is also releasing a preview of its GenAI toolkit with
support for NetApp Volumes. This offering, along with the
accompanying reference architecture, speeds the implementation of
RAG operations while enabling secure, consistent, and automated
workflows that securely connect data stored in NetApp Volumes with
Google Cloud Vertex AI platform. The result is a greater ability to
generate unique, high-quality, and ultra-relevant insights and
automations.
“As the intelligent data infrastructure company, we have
unmatched capabilities to support data classification, tagging,
mobility, and cloning for data wherever it lives so our customers
can run efficient and secure AI data pipelines,” said Pravjit
Tiwana, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Cloud Storage at
NetApp. “Building on our partnership with Google Cloud to
streamline RAG enables customers to tap into market-leading AI
services and models to generate a unique competitive
advantage.”
The NetApp GenAI toolkit helps optimize RAG processes with
unique capabilities, including:
- Common data footprint everywhere: NetApp ONTAP allows
customers to easily include data from any environment to power
their RAG efforts with common operational processes while reducing
risk, cost, and time to results.
- Automated classification and tagging: NetApp’s BlueXP
classification service automatically tags data to support
streamlined data cleansing for both the ingest and inferencing
phases of the data pipeline, ensuring that the right data is used
for queries and that sensitive data is not exposed to the model out
of policy.
- Fast, scalable snapshots: ONTAP Snapshot delivers
near-instant creation of space-efficient, in-place copies of vector
stores and databases, allowing immediate roll back to a previous
version if data is corrupted or forward if point-in-time analysis
is needed.
- Real-time cloning at scale: ONTAP FlexClone technology
can create instant clones of vector index stores to safely make
uniquely relevant data instantly available for different queries
for different users, without impacting the core production
data.
“GenAI is a tidal wave of opportunity for the companies that can
effectively apply their data to their industry,” said Miles Ward,
CTO at SADA, An Insight Company. “At SADA we are fired up about
pairing our extensive expertise with NetApp and Vertex AI to help
customers accelerate their AI journeys. Why generate uninformed
chats when you could generate unique, specific, relevant
insights?”
The GenAI toolkit will be available as a public preview within
the second half of 2024.
