NetApp ONTAP to Ceph Migration. Proven, Fixed-Scope, Delivered by Senior Engineers.
Yes, migrating from NetApp ONTAP to Ceph is a well-understood project. We deliver a fixed-scope migration with senior platform engineers, end-to-end, in 4-8 months.
The lowest-cost way off NetApp ONTAP: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support NetApp ONTAP → Ceph after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope migration from NetApp ONTAP to Ceph
- ✓Senior platform engineers assigned to your project
- ✓Legacy NetApp hardware supported until Ceph is live
- ✓40-70% savings vs NetApp support renewals
- ✓24/7 US-based support during and after migration
- ✓Post-migration Enterprise Ceph Cluster Management
Vendor lock-in pricing
NetApp ONTAP renewal costs climb every year. Your infrastructure budget feels squeezed by proprietary hardware and software licensing.
In-house Ceph skill gap
Your team knows NetApp ONTAP well. Moving to open-source Ceph requires operational expertise you don't have in-house right now.
Application API integration risk
Your applications rely on NetApp proprietary APIs. Re-architecting storage access is a blocker without deep storage engineering experience.
NetApp ONTAP → Ceph migration — your questions answered
How does a NetApp ONTAP to Ceph migration work technically?+
We start with a free Ceph architecture and feasibility assessment. Senior engineers design the Ceph cluster, migrate data block-by-block, and validate application compatibility. Your NetApp ONTAP stays under vendor support while the contract is active — no forced big-bang cutover.
What if our NetApp vendor support lapses mid-migration?+
If your vendor renewal deadline passes, our independent third-party support covers most operational issues on the legacy NetApp hardware while you complete the migration. This is not vendor support and does not include vendor patches — but it keeps critical issues resolved while Ceph is being validated.
Can we keep using our existing NetApp hardware after migrating to Ceph?+
Yes. We support your legacy NetApp hardware with third-party support (covering most operational issues) at 40-70% less than vendor renewal costs. This lets you decommission hardware on your own schedule, not the vendor's.
How do you handle application integration with Ceph after an ONTAP migration?+
Our senior engineers audit existing NetApp API integrations and provide a migration plan for each workload. Post-migration, we offer Enterprise Ceph Cluster Management and Operational Support to fill your team's skill gap. Response is handled by US-based engineers 24/7.
