NetApp announced the acquisition of JetStream Software, a provider of disaster recovery and migration solutions for VMware environments. The deal lets NetApp customers protect VMware environments regardless of storage vendor and recover on NetApp's cloud storage, including Azure NetApp Files. JetStream's technology complements NetApp's SnapMirror replication, which remains the primary replication solution for NetApp environments.
NetApp's acquisition of JetStream Software targets a specific pressure point: enterprises still run mission-critical systems on VMware, while cloud adopters want to move workloads without added cost or operational burden. The stated pattern is to start with disaster recovery as the first step into the cloud, then gradually migrate production environments.
JetStream's technology works alongside NetApp's SnapMirror replication, which will continue as the primary replication solution for NetApp environments. Combined, the two technologies extend protection to VMware environments running on third-party storage in addition to NetApp's own. NetApp positions the move as support for application protection, cloud migration, and infrastructure modernization, with Azure NetApp Files named as a destination for recovery.
