NetApp announced Thursday that it has acquired JetStream Software, a company specializing in disaster recovery and migration technology for VMware environments, as part of a broader push to help enterprise customers move workloads to the cloud more flexibly.
Many enterprise organizations continue to rely heavily on VMware to run their most critical applications. As companies weigh cloud adoption strategies, they're often looking for ways to shift workloads while limiting cost, complexity, and operational disruption. Disaster recovery has increasingly become the entry point for that transition, with production workloads following later as organizations' cloud strategies mature.
NetApp CEO George Kurian said data has become foundational to business growth, AI development, and maintaining operational continuity, and that bringing JetStream into the company strengthens NetApp's ability to keep customer data secure, accessible, and prepared for future needs as businesses look to extract more value from it while guarding against disruption. He said the acquisition further cements NetApp's position as a leader in enterprise resilience and data protection.
With JetStream's technology now part of its portfolio, NetApp will be able to protect VMware environments running on nearly any storage platform and enable recovery onto NetApp's own storage offerings, including Azure NetApp Files.
Pravjit Tiwana, NetApp's Senior Vice President and General Manager for Cloud Storage and Services, said customers want the ability to move to the cloud on their own timeline rather than being constrained by their infrastructure. He said JetStream allows customers to begin with disaster recovery and gradually transition to full production workloads in the cloud, positioning NetApp's cloud offerings within major hyperscalers as an easier landing spot for enterprise VMware deployments.
JetStream's technology is designed to work alongside NetApp's existing SnapMirror replication tool, which will remain the company's preferred solution for replication within NetApp environments. Combined, the two technologies allow NetApp to protect both its existing customer base and the much larger population of VMware deployments running on third-party storage systems.
The acquisition expands NetApp's ability to help enterprises safeguard applications, speed up cloud migration, and modernize their infrastructure, while giving customers room to move at whatever pace suits their needs.
Tom Critser, Co-Founder and CEO of JetStream Software, said customers are looking for solutions that let them evolve their environments without adding complexity. He said joining NetApp will allow JetStream to bring its technology to a wider range of organizations globally and deliver added value by pairing its expertise with NetApp's data services and cloud storage portfolio.
