Elevator Pitch
Customer Pain Points
Cloud Insights is designed specifically for today’s cloud-based infrastructure and deployment technologies and provides advanced analytics on the connections between resources in the environment.
Because it’s hosted in the cloud, it’s easy to get up and running fast. You’ll have real-time data visualization of the topology, availability, performance, and utilization of all your infrastructure, including both cloud and on-premises multi vendor resources.
Cloud Insights quickly inventories what resources you have, figures out the interdependencies across them, and assembles a topology of your environment.
You’ll have end-to-end visibility into what resources are supporting which application.
NetApp Cloud Insights is a SaaS-based monitoring tool that helps you quickly find performance issues faster and optimize usage of your cloud workloads to do more with your limited budget.

Hybrid multicloud
- The SaaS-delivered Cloud Insights standalone or as a part of the BlueXP control plane provides observability for the hybrid multicloud from a single pane of glass.
Cyber Resilience and Zero trust management
- Control of data protection, governance, compliance, and permissions combined with infrastructure protections delivers zero-trust capabilities.
Optimization: Protect your infrastructure budget and prepare for migration to the cloud by monitoring for idle, powered off or underutilized assets
AI/ML : Automatically identify and report potential problems and recommend solutions
- IT departments across small to large enterprises (excluding defense departments).
- DevOps (Dev, SRE, Ops), Operations Manager, Cloud Architect
- Key challenges include lack of visibility into infrastructure layers, difficulty in managing cross-platform apps, determining when there are SLO breaches, migration to cloud involves re-tooling.
- Are you able to quickly identify runaway costs in your cloud infrastructure?
- Are you using your resources efficiently?
- Are you able to identify unused or orphaned infrastructure in your cloud environment?
