10.3.2021 14:02:11 CET | Business Wire | Press release
Global cloud-led, data centric software company NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) today announced the general availability of NetApp Astra (formerly known as Project Astra), a fully managed application-aware data management service built for Kubernetes workloads. NetApp Astra allows organizations to protect, recover, and move applications deployed on Kubernetes with no software to download, install, manage, or upgrade, thus enabling them to focus on developing and scaling their applications—not on managing infrastructure.
“Backup, cloning, disaster recovery, data lifecycle operations, data optimization, compliance, and security are all critical to any organization,” said Eric Han vice president, product management, Public Cloud Services at NetApp. “Taken together, these challenges increase complexity. That’s directly at odds with Kubernetes’ goal of simpler, faster and more flexible application development and deployment – a vision that NetApp Astra will help to realize.”
“I applaud NetApp’s goal of providing application-aware data management for Kubernetes,” said Rushi NS, Chief Architect, SAP. “Astra will make it dramatically easier to manage, protect, and move data-rich Kubernetes workloads across public clouds and on-premises. I look forward to collaborating with NetApp as they continue to develop Astra.”
With NetApp Astra, NetApp extends its industry-leading data management services into the Kubernetes ecosystem, helping organizations manage cloud native applications and legacy workloads with key capabilities including:
- Data protection with snapshots . Teams can take snapshots for local data protection. If the data is accidentally deleted or corrupted, the applications and associated data can be reverted to a previously recorded snapshot in the same Kubernetes cluster.
- Disaster/data recovery with remote backups . Teams can also take a full application-aware backup of an application and state. The backup can be used to restore the application with its data to a different Kubernetes cluster in the same or a different region to address data recovery use cases.
- Simplified application portability and migration with active clones. Entire applications, along with their data, can be moved from one Kubernetes cluster to another, no matter where the clusters are located.
Currently supporting Google Cloud, NetApp Astra will soon support Microsoft Azure and AWS public cloud environments, as well as on-prem.
More information on NetApp Astra is available on the NetApp blog . Organizations can also try NetApp Astra for free by signing up here .

Lantern Expands Its Platform for Solving the Data Trust Problem with Strategic Acquisition and Key Executive Hires4.6.2026 10:00:00 CEST | Press release
Lantern Acquires Freyda to Create the First End-to-End Data Assurance Platform for Private Markets Lantern Limited (“Lantern”), the data assurance platform for private markets, announced today a strategic acquisition, expanded platform capabilities, and key leadership additions to address one of private markets biggest operational challenges: transforming fragmented, disconnected data across multiple sources into trusted, actionable intelligence. Private markets run on data, yet much of that data remains siloed, trapped in PDFs, and processed through highly manual workflows across both fund managers and investors. While GPs have increasingly modernized how they manage and report fund information internally, LPs still spend billions of dollars each year manually extracting, normalizing, and reconciling data from capital notices, quarterly statements, and other fund documents. With the acquisition of Freyda Limited (“Freyda”), one of the leading AI document intelligence platforms for ins
