NetApp Delivers Secure, Zero-Copy Data Activation for the Agentic Enterprise29.9.2026 19:30:00 CEST | Press release

Enterprises will be empowered to accelerate AI innovation to machine speed NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, today announced new capabilities that enable enterprises to accelerate their adoption of agentic AI with secure, in-place, zero-copy data activation. The heterogeneous metadata capability of NetApp AI Data Engine (AIDE) helps organizations discover, understand, govern, and operationalize data where it lives, while an expanded integration with Commvault connects the NetApp Platform with Commvault recovery orchestration workflow to help customers detect attacks earlier and recover cleaner data faster. As AI agents move from experimentation into production, enterprise data infrastructure has become a critical business dependency. Agents can read, retrieve, and act on data at machine speed, but most enterprise data estates were built for human-paced workflows: fragmented across file, object, cloud, on-premises, and sovereign environments; governed

NetApp to Expand Partnership with SAP to Support SAP Cloud Infrastructure29.9.2026 19:30:00 CEST | Press release

NetApp to explore integrating NetApp capabilities with SAP Cloud Infrastructure storage architecture, to support secure, resilient, high-performance infrastructure for SAP and customer workloads NetApp, the intelligent Data Infrastructure company, today announced its intent to expand its long-standing partnership with SAP, with plans to explore deeper cloud-native integration of NetApp capabilities into SAP Cloud Infrastructure, SAP’s Infrastructure-as-a-Service platform. The NetApp Platform supports key elements of the SAP Cloud Infrastructure storage architecture, delivering reliable, highly available and high-performance file and block storage services. The NetApp Platform also provides built-in proactive data protection capabilities and data replication to support SAP’s global availability model. “SAP and NetApp share a long-standing commitment to empower the world’s most mission-critical enterprise environments,” said Álvaro Celis, Senior Vice President, Chief Commercial, Partner

NetApp Removes Storage Bottleneck for AI Factories29.9.2026 19:30:00 CEST | Press release

New architecture delivers fastest storage on the planet, designed to maximize GPU utilization and architected for up to 100 TB per second aggregate throughput NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, today announced NetApp Novus™, the fastest storage on the planet designed for AI infrastructure providers operating large GPU environments. Built to support a zettabyte-scale file system, this next-generation architecture will allow AI factories to keep millions of GPUs continuously fed with data, maximizing the efficiency, utilization, and profitability of their investments. Neoclouds and GPU-as-a-Service providers are building AI factories at a scale that traditional storage architectures were never designed to support, creating bottlenecks that reduce GPU utilization and increase infrastructure costs. Under traditional architectures, GPU utilization can drop below 30 percent when AI factories cannot feed enough data to their GPUs to generate the results they

NetApp Empowers Enterprises to Build Anything, Anywhere29.9.2026 19:30:00 CEST | Press release

New hybrid multi-cloud capabilities remove borders between on-premises and cloud operations NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, today announced new hybrid multi-cloud capabilities with autonomous controls to maximize enterprise flexibility and efficiency for any workload. Enterprises can now more easily adopt modern data strategies across on-premises and cloud environments leveraging new capabilities for consistent operations that account for sovereignty, governance, and controlled consumption. As enterprise applications and AI workloads increasingly span on-premises environments, public clouds, sovereign regions, and emerging AI Factory architectures, organizations need more than infrastructure flexibility. They need a consistent operating model that can keep pace with machine-speed demand while meeting requirements for governance, resilience, efficiency, and jurisdictional control. Traditional manual administration, fragmented tooling, and disconnecte
