NetApp Unlocks Agentic AI with Zero-Copy Data
29 Sep
Summary
- New capabilities accelerate agentic AI adoption.
- Data is activated in-place, zero-copy, and securely.
- Enhanced Commvault integration speeds data recovery.
NetApp has unveiled new capabilities designed to accelerate enterprise adoption of agentic AI by enabling secure, in-place, and zero-copy data activation. The NetApp AI Data Engine (AIDE) now supports heterogeneous metadata discovery, allowing organizations to understand and govern data regardless of its location, including NetApp ONTAP, StorageGRID, and non-NetApp storage. This feature facilitates discovery across NFS, SMB, and S3 repositories, aiding in risk reduction and identification of AI-ready data.
Furthermore, NetApp has enhanced its integration with Commvault to bolster recovery orchestration for AI workloads. This collaboration aims to provide near-real-time threat detection, deeper threat scans, and cleanroom validation using advanced AI technology. The integration connects NetApp's autonomous ransomware protection signals directly to Commvault's recovery workflows, enabling faster restoration of trusted data and minimizing the risk of reinfection, thereby strengthening the foundation for AI-driven operations.
