NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, and Oracle today announced a new fully managed storage service that brings enterprise-grade NetApp storage natively to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The service will bring NetApp ONTAP® data management capabilities natively to OCI to help organizations simplify the migration and management of critical AI and enterprise workloads in the cloud.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure NetApp Storage Service is designed to be a fully managed OCI-native storage service that brings NetApp ONTAP data management capabilities to OCI. It helps enterprises migrate, run, protect, and modernize databases, enterprise applications, virtualized environments, EDA/HPC, regulated applications, and AI data pipelines while preserving familiar storage operations.

“Customers want the flexibility to move AI and enterprise workloads to the cloud without giving up operational simplicity, data management, and reliability,” said Pravjit Tiwana, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Cloud Storage and Services at NetApp. “OCI NetApp Storage Service gives customers a native OCI experience while allowing them to use the ONTAP familiar capabilities for data protection, migration, governance, and multiprotocol access.”

Customers can manage OCI NetApp Storage Service through the OCI Console and SDKs, ONTAP APIs, and familiar operational workflows. Delivered natively on OCI, the service helps customers move existing ONTAP-based workloads to the cloud while minimizing application redesign and storage management changes. For enterprises running mission-critical workloads in large-scale and regulated industries, OCI NetApp Storage Service helps extend familiar storage capabilities to OCI with consistent data management, high availability, security, and predictable performance across on-premises and cloud environments.

“Enterprises shouldn't have to rebuild their data infrastructure to move to the cloud,” said Konstantinos (kp) Papamiltiadis, Senior Vice President of Partnerships at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “OCI NetApp Storage Service gives customers a trusted, familiar path to OCI, so they can focus on what the data does, not how it's managed.”

“By bringing a native ONTAP-based storage service to OCI, we are combining OCI’s scale and performance with NetApp’s enterprise data capabilities to empower customers to run mission-critical workloads,” said Alvaro Celis, Senior Vice President, Chief Commercial, Partner and Ecosystem Officer at NetApp. “This partnership enhances our ability to deliver meaningful customer value, especially in regulated industries, by making it easier for organizations to move, modernize, and protect their most critical applications on OCI.”

OCI NetApp Storage Service is planned for general availability within the next 12 months.

NetApp Delivers Secure, Zero-Copy Data Activation for the Agentic Enterprise29.9.2026 19:30:00 CEST | Press Release

NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, today announced new capabilities that enable enterprises to accelerate their adoption of agentic AI with secure, in-place, zero-copy data activation. The heterogeneous metadata capability of NetApp AI Data Engine (AIDE) helps organizations discover, understand, govern, and operationalize data where it lives, while an expanded integration with Commvault connects the NetApp Platform with Commvault recovery orchestration workflow to help customers detect attacks earlier and recover cleaner data faster. As AI agents move from experimentation into production, enterprise data infrastructure has become a critical business dependency. Agents can read, retrieve, and act on data at machine speed, but most enterprise data estates were built for human-paced workflows: fragmented across file, object, cloud, on-premises, and sovereign environments; governed through inconsistent controls; and activated through pipelines that copy, m

NetApp Empowers Enterprises to Build Anything, Anywhere29.9.2026 19:30:00 CEST | Press Release

NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, today announced new hybrid multi-cloud capabilities with autonomous controls to maximize enterprise flexibility and efficiency for any workload. Enterprises can now more easily adopt modern data strategies across on-premises and cloud environments leveraging new capabilities for consistent operations that account for sovereignty, governance, and controlled consumption. As enterprise applications and AI workloads increasingly span on-premises environments, public clouds, sovereign regions, and emerging AI Factory architectures, organizations need more than infrastructure flexibility. They need a consistent operating model that can keep pace with machine-speed demand while meeting requirements for governance, resilience, efficiency, and jurisdictional control. Traditional manual administration, fragmented tooling, and disconnected data strategies can slow innovation, increase operational risk, and make it harder to cont

NetApp Removes Storage Bottleneck for AI Factories29.9.2026 19:30:00 CEST | Press Release

NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, today announced NetApp Novus™, the fastest storage on the planet designed for AI infrastructure providers operating large GPU environments. Built to support a zettabyte-scale file system, this next-generation architecture will allow AI factories to keep millions of GPUs continuously fed with data, maximizing the efficiency, utilization, and profitability of their investments. Neoclouds and GPU-as-a-Service providers are building AI factories at a scale that traditional storage architectures were never designed to support, creating bottlenecks that reduce GPU utilization and increase infrastructure costs. Under traditional architectures, GPU utilization can drop below 30 percent when AI factories cannot feed enough data to their GPUs to generate the results they need and make a return on their investment. “AI factories struggle and GPU economics collapse when data can't keep up," said Syam Nair, Chief Product Officer a

NetApp Enhances Data Sovereignty Controls to Keystone29.9.2026 19:30:00 CEST | Press Release

NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, today announced NetApp Keystone Sovereign, which will enable qualified European customers to use data sovereignty controls in support of their compliance and data residency journeys. Enterprises will more easily be able to keep data and support within specified geographic boundaries. As organizations modernize IT and adopt cloud-like operating models, customers in regulated industries face increasing pressure to keep sensitive data, support, and operations within defined geographic boundaries. For many European customers, sovereignty requirements now extend beyond data residency to include operational access, telemetry, and data flow transparency. With NetApp Keystone Sovereign, qualified European customers can now better address these requirements. “Data sovereignty has become a strategic requirement as organizations move beyond asking where data resides to demanding greater control over the technical and operational
