NetApp Acquires JetStream Software to Advance Cyber Resilience and Data Protection for the AI Era

Acquisition strengthens NetApp’s portfolio with recovery and mobility capabilities that help organizations reduce risk and accelerate transformation

NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, today announced it has acquired JetStream Software, a leader in VMware disaster recovery and migration.

Enterprise customers continue to rely on VMware for many of their most critical applications. As organizations evaluate cloud adoption, they often seek ways to transition workloads while minimizing cost, complexity, and operational disruption. For many, disaster recovery serves as a practical first step, with production workloads migrating over time as cloud strategies mature.

“Data has become the foundation for business growth, AI innovation, and operational continuity,” said George Kurian, Chief Executive Officer at NetApp. “As customers look to unlock greater value from their data while strengthening protection against disruption, bringing JetStream into NetApp expands our ability to help keep their data secure, available, and ready for what comes next. This acquisition further positions NetApp as a leader in enterprise resilience and data protection.”

By adding JetStream’s technology to NetApp, customers will be able to protect VMware environments running on virtually any storage platform and recover them on NetApp first-party storage offerings such as Azure NetApp Files.

“Customers want to move to the cloud on their schedule, not their infrastructure’s schedule,” said Pravjit Tiwana, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Cloud Storage and Services at NetApp. “JetStream helps customers start with disaster recovery and seamlessly evolve to production in the cloud. Together, we’re making our cloud offerings within hyperscalers the easiest destination for enterprise VMware workloads.”

JetStream complements NetApp’s existing SnapMirror technology, which remains the preferred replication solution for NetApp environments. Together, the combined portfolio enables NetApp to protect both existing NetApp deployments, and the much broader VMware installed base running on third-party storage.

With this acquisition, NetApp expands its ability to help enterprises protect applications, accelerate cloud migration, and modernize infrastructure while giving customers the flexibility to move at their own pace.

“Customers want solutions that help them evolve their environments without adding complexity,” said Tom Critser, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at JetStream Software. “Joining NetApp allows us to bring our technology to more organizations worldwide and deliver even greater value by combining our expertise with NetApp’s industry-leading data services and cloud storage portfolio.”
