NetApp Acquires JetStream Software to Advance Cyber Resilience and Data Protection for the AI Era
Acquisition strengthens NetApp’s portfolio with recovery and mobility capabilities that help organizations reduce risk and accelerate transformation.
NetApp, the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, announced it has acquired JetStream Software, a leader in VMware disaster recovery and migration. This acquisition aims to enhance NetApp's cyber resilience and data protection offerings in the AI era.
George Kurian, NetApp's CEO, emphasized the importance of data for business growth, AI innovation, and operational continuity. By incorporating JetStream's technology, NetApp can now assist customers in safeguarding their data, ensuring availability, and preparing for future needs.
Pravjit Tiwana, NetApp's Senior Vice President and General Manager for Cloud Storage and Services, highlighted that customers prefer to migrate to the cloud at their own pace, not dictated by their infrastructure. JetStream's technology enables this seamless transition, making cloud offerings within hyperscalers more accessible for enterprise VMware workloads.
JetStream's technology complements NetApp's existing SnapMirror, which is the preferred replication solution for NetApp environments. The combined portfolio now allows NetApp to protect both NetApp deployments and the extensive VMware installed base running on third-party storage.
Tom Critser, Co-Founder and CEO of JetStream Software, expressed excitement about joining NetApp, stating that the acquisition will enable them to bring their technology to more organizations worldwide and deliver greater value by combining their expertise with NetApp's industry-leading data services and cloud storage portfolio.
