Unified Protection for All Workloads
NetApp’s ransomware protection now delivers the same level of visibility and control for SAN workloads that customers already rely on for NAS. This unified approach allows IT teams to monitor, detect, and respond to ransomware activity from a single management console, simplifying protection for mixed environments.
The solution combines AI-based detection, automated workflows, and application-consistent protection policies to help identify and mitigate ransomware attacks before they spread. Recommended actions and guided recovery features streamline the response process, helping teams act quickly and confidently when an incident occurs.
Key benefits include:
- Centralised management – manage NAS and SAN workloads from a single console
- Stronger security posture – extend protection across all storage environments without adding new tools or complexity
- Consistent compliance – apply unified policies and reporting to meet corporate and regulatory requirements efficiently
Built for Today’s Hybrid Environments
For over two decades, NetApp has supported critical SAN workloads for thousands of customers. These latest enhancements continue that commitment, delivering comprehensive data protection that’s ready for the demands of modern hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures.
As a NetApp distributor, Arrow is here to support partners in understanding, positioning, and deploying these enhanced ransomware protection capabilities – helping end customers defend their most valuable data with confidence.
