Seamlessly Migrate, Tier, Archive, Replicate and Shrink Backup Costs with Komprise for NetApp Data Management

Komprise Intelligent Data Management for NetApp: Right Data, Right Place, Right Time

Get a single view of how NAS data across vendor platforms is growing, being used, and what data is hot or inactive and cold. Identify what data can move to NetApp – whether your use case is NetApp cloud tiering, data migrating or tiering data. Get maximum NetApp performance, cost savings and unstructured data value with Komprise.

Understand ROI of NetApp with Analytics-First Data Management

Interactively tune your policies on what data you want to migrate, archive, tier and/or replicate to NetApp targets (NetApp FAS, E-Series, StorageGRID) and instantly visualize your savings and ROI.

Native Experience with NetApp Archive and NetApp Tiering


Komprise Intelligent Data Management is tightly integrated with NetApp to deliver a native experience for moved files – they look as if they were simply tiered from NetApp, without any disruption to users or applications.

Access Data from NetApp StorageGRID or NAS with zero lock-in

Data moved by Komprise to NetApp StorageGRID or tiered or migrated to the the cloud are stored as objects, but fully accessible as files from the source NAS or from StorageGRID – zero lock-in, no stubs, no agents.

Cost-Efficient Data Fabric with NetApp Data Management from Komprise

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Komprise data management solutions for NetApp?
Komprise provides Intelligent NetApp Data Management Solutions that help enterprises analyze, migrate, tier, and prepare unstructured data for both cost optimization and AI initiatives. Komprise integrates with NetApp ONTAP, Cloud Volumes ONTAP, Azure NetApp Files, and NetApp StorageGRID to reduce storage and cloud costs while delivering the right file and object data to analytics and AI workflows without disrupting access.

How does Komprise support NetApp data migration and NetApp file migration?
Komprise accelerates NetApp data migration and NetApp file migration by first analyzing data usage and access patterns, then moving only the right files to NetApp targets on-prem or in the cloud. This analytics-driven approach reduces migration scope, lowers risk, and ensures that high-value and AI-relevant data is prioritized, while preserving metadata, permissions, and native NetApp access.

How does Komprise enable NetApp tiering and ongoing cost optimization?
Komprise enables intelligent NetApp tiering by continuously identifying inactive data on NetApp systems and transparently moving it to lower-cost object storage or NetApp StorageGRID. This reduces the footprint of expensive primary NetApp storage, lowers backup and cloud costs, and avoids unnecessary hardware upgrades, all while keeping files accessible and ready for downstream analytics or AI use.

How does Komprise help prepare NetApp data for AI and analytics?
Komprise uses Deep Analytics, Smart Data Workflows and policy-based automation to identify, classify, and prepare unstructured NetApp data for AI and analytics pipelines. By filtering out cold, redundant, or low-value data (see ROT Data) and delivering curated datasets to cloud object storage or AI platforms, Komprise helps organizations reduce data prep time, control costs, and ensure AI models are trained on the right data, not just the most data.

How does Komprise deliver NetApp data to AI platforms without disrupting production systems?
Komprise is never in the hot data path, so it can move, tier, and deliver NetApp file and object data to AI platforms without impacting performance or user access. Data can be accessed natively via NFS, SMB, or S3 and consumed directly by AI and analytics tools, eliminating the need for duplicate pipelines, proprietary data formats, or expensive parallel storage environments.
