virtual desktop experience at scale while
keeping data available and secure without
sacrificing performance has always been
important and is especially critical in
today’s unprecedented environment,” said
Anthony Lye, Senior Vice President and
General Manager of NetApp’s Cloud Data

a simplified management platform
for delivering VDI, storage and data
management across Microsoft Azure, AWS
and Google Cloud with best in class Virtual

class storage and data services.”
CloudJumper gives customers a simple
and secure path to the future by managing
current environments – often on-premises
or using older technologies such as Remote
Desktop Services (RDS) – in addition to
the environment the market is moving to
– cloud hosted desktops using Windows
Virtual Desktops (WVD).
NetApp VDS provides CloudJumper’s
customers highly resilient data storage
with enterprise-class features including
performance, high availability, global
file caching, backup, compliance and
essential capabilities to help move business
operations to the cloud.
