NetApp Partnered with Diskover for Data Management

Live Poll

Do you trust automated metadata tools to help your organization reduce data storage waste?

NetApp has announced a partnership to resell the Diskover data management platform, enabling customers to optimize storage environments. This collaboration allows users to integrate Diskover tools directly into their existing NetApp storage systems.

Why it matters

Enterprises often struggle with redundant, obsolete, and trivial data that inflates storage costs. By identifying and removing this unused data, organizations can significantly reduce their total storage footprint.

Diskover software provides a metadata catalog by scanning and indexing data via native connections to ONTAP and StorageGRID. The platform reports a return on investment within 30 to 60 days of deployment.

The Tech Race

As data volumes grow, storage efficiency has become a critical battleground for infrastructure providers competing to reduce overhead for IT departments. This integration signals a shift toward specialized metadata-layer tools that replace legacy, manual data auditing processes.

NetApp customers can now purchase Diskover products directly through their existing vendor accounts, simplifying procurement for IT teams. These tools allow administrators to automate data cleanup and improve the speed of searching across large-scale storage environments.

The takeaway

Effective data lifecycle management requires tools that can identify and purge obsolete files to optimize infrastructure costs. Businesses that leverage metadata indexing can expect to recover significant storage space within two months of implementation.
