NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP (CVO) provides an enterprise-grade file and block storage solution, combining Azure cloud infrastructure with rich data management, protection, replication, caching, and cyber resilience functionality of NetApp ONTAP storage operating system. Additionally, CVO supports multiprotocol access (NFS, SMB, iSCSI, NVMe/TCP) and built-in cost savings enabled by tiering, deduplication, compression, compaction, and thin provisioning.

Experience CVO firsthand with this free lightweight offering to test-drive CVO in under 10 minutes—no additional management tools required.

Key Benefits

Multiprotocol support: Manage primary file (NFS, SMB) and block (iSCSI, NVMe/TCP) workloads in the cloud with a single, software-defined storage system supporting also S3 protocol for object access.
High Availability and Reliability: Built on NetApp ONTAP, CVO delivers high availability, resilience, and fast data access across demanding workloads.
Rich data management: Benefit from enterprise-grade management capabilities like snapshots, fast clones, replication, and seamless data mobility to protect and manage workloads efficiently.
Cost optimization: Reduce cloud storage costs by up to 70% compared to native cloud storage using built-in efficiencies such as tiering, deduplication, compression, and thin provisioning.
Enterprise-grade security: Safeguard your data with at-rest and in-flight encryption, role-based access control, and advanced ransomware protection features.
Hybrid cloud ready: Seamlessly integrate with remote ONTAP systems (either on-prem or in other cloud providers) for backup, disaster recovery, and data mobility.
Frictionless deployment: Use your existing cloud infrastructure to deploy CVO in Azure—no agents or connectors needed.
Commitment-free trial: Deploy a free, lightweight version of CVO to test-drive its capabilities before scaling to production.
