Drive Hybrid-Cloud Control at F1 Speed and Power Business Across Every Industry
IT teams are expected to be agile, cost-conscious, and resilient — often across a growing mix of on-prem and multicloud environments. That’s where NetApp BlueXP comes in: a modern, unified control platform that simplifies how organizations manage data across hybrid infrastructures.
Think of BlueXP as your pit crew in the race for performance, security, and cost optimization — always in position to keep your data operations running at peak speed.
A Unified Approach to Hybrid Multicloud
Managing infrastructure across on-prem systems, private clouds, and public cloud platforms is no small task. With NetApp BlueXP, it becomes dramatically easier. Through a single, intuitive interface, IT teams can discover, deploy, manage, and optimize all NetApp storage systems — from AFF and FAS, to StorageGRID and cloud-native storage in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
This not only reduces complexity but gives full visibility and operational control over your entire data estate.
AI-Driven Efficiency Through AIOps
BlueXP integrates NetApp Active IQ to bring powerful AIOps capabilities into everyday operations. The platform uses predictive analytics and machine learning to:
Monitor infrastructure health
Automate troubleshooting
Identify risks before they become disruptions
Offer actionable recommendations to optimize system performance
The result? Fewer manual tasks, faster incident resolution, and smarter, more proactive infrastructure management — all with enterprise-grade reliability.
Built-In Data Protection and Cyber Resilience
Security isn’t just a layer in today’s architecture — it’s a core requirement. BlueXP brings a unified security posture across environments, making ransomware protection, compliance visibility, and recovery orchestration more accessible than ever.
Highlights include:
Centralized ransomware protection dashboard
Zero trust security approach
Automated patching and one-click remediation
Immutable backups and secure vaulting options
These capabilities help reduce risk and simplify your response to evolving threats.
Flexible Data Mobility, Seamlessly Executed
Whether you need to move data to the cloud for scale, replicate workloads for disaster recovery, or tier cold data to lower-cost storage, BlueXP handles it effortlessly. Features like drag-and-drop data migration, real-time syncing, caching, and tiering allow businesses to move and store data where it makes the most sense — both operationally and financially.
Smarter, Predictable Cost Management
Financial efficiency is increasingly a shared responsibility across IT and business teams. BlueXP supports this by providing detailed insights into consumption and costs, along with powerful tools to control them:
AI-led optimization for storage usage
Forecasting models for usage trends
Built-in cost calculators for services like NetApp Keystone
A digital wallet for flexible licensing and resource allocation
This helps align IT spending with business outcomes — while avoiding surprises.
Sustainability with Measurable Impact
Data operations shouldn’t come at the cost of sustainability. BlueXP offers tools to monitor and optimize energy consumption, helping organizations meet their environmental goals. By placing the right workloads in the right place — based on performance, cost, and power usage — businesses can strike a smart balance between performance and responsibility.
Inspired by F1: Speed, Precision, and Coordination
In Formula 1, races are won not only on the track but in the pits — through precision teamwork, predictive decision-making, and flawless execution under pressure.
NetApp BlueXP brings those same principles to your hybrid cloud operations:
Unified control like an F1 team’s command center
AI-driven telemetry anticipating problems before they slow you down
Integrated security like a well-drilled pit crew — fast, reliable, responsive
Real-time optimization to help you adapt to every curve on the track
When every millisecond counts, BlueXP ensures your infrastructure stays ahead of the pack.
