Cloud data services vendor NetApp, has announced that it has acquired Talon Storage, a software-defined storage solutions company that enables enterprises to centralise and consolidate IT storage infrastructure to the public clouds.
With the combination of NetApp Cloud Volumes technology and Talon FAST software, enterprises can seamlessly centralise data in the cloud while still maintaining a consistent branch office experience.
“As we grow our cloud data services offerings with solutions like Cloud Volumes ONTAP, Cloud Volumes Service, Azure NetApp Files and Cloud Insights, we are excited about the potential that lies in front of this new combined team to deliver complete solutions for primary workloads,” said Anthony Lye, senior vice president and general manager of NetApp’s Cloud Data Services business unit. “We share the same vision as the team did at Talon – a unified footprint of unstructured data that all users access seamlessly, regardless of where in the world they are, as if all users and data were in the same physical location. And to do this without impacting workflow, user experience – and at a lower cost.”
NetApp’s acquisition of Talon enhances the company’s cloud data services portfolio with a solution that solves all the remote office and branch office challenges with file shares.
