Plan the Right First Step to the Cloud with NetApp Cloud Advisor

Get Visibility Into Your Whole Environment

With Cloud Advisor you can plan your move at your own pace, from one application to your entire footprint across the globe. Cloud Advisor pulls data from NetApp’s ActiveIQ data lake allowing you to see relevant information about your storage environment across all of your datacenters without having to run a lengthy discovery process.

Zero In on the Right Data

Cloud Advisor provides easy to use filters to uncover which types of application data are in use by site, feature usage, and capacity.  Granular data reporting and selection means that you can target the right data to move to the cloud and avoid mistakes.  Making sense of the application data, where it currently is and where it could go is an important part of completing the picture of a cloud journey.

Project Room to View and Share

You can empower your cloud strategy and application teams to plan their transitions. Because you can filter and search for data associated with specific applications, your teams can evaluate the right applications for the right cloud.  Utilize the project room to manage multiple assessments, and share them with colleagues to understand exactly which applications are in scope for movement to cloud.

Choose the Right Landing Spot

With Cloud Advisor, you can select which cloud regions make sense for your data based on features, proximity and data governance needs. Cloud Advisor includes intelligence about public cloud providers and where services are available so you can model the right place for your data. We offer tradeoffs and considerations for both a NetApp storage or cloud storage approach.

Understanding Cost and Time

Move your data with confidence by using our estimated cost analysis and migration duration metrics. Cloud Advisor pulls up to date costs for the type of storage you want to consider in the hyperscaler cloud of your choice. You can compare the costs to move your data to NetApp Cloud Volumes Service or to another cloud target and see in real time what your estimated costs would be.
